Perfect Me

What's worse than damaged self worth?

By Ella TroupPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

I am not proud of who I am

I love the person I will become

Want to be

Am not.

You say I am so wonderful

But there is always more

More I could be

Should be

I am not the perfect me.

I don't want you to change me

Mould me

Break me.

I want you to love me

For me.

Not for who I could be

Or will be

Or what you think I should be

There is only one perfect me.

The me I am now

Perfect in imperfection

A cliché

An original

Abnormal

Damaged

Bruised

Suffering.
