I'm Not Perfect!

Poetry By: beccaboo11
True confessions


Why do you have to keep bringing my past mistakes up? Why can't you just let them go and let me live my life?

Nobody is perfect.

Everyone makes mistakes.

Why do you have to think that I have to be 'perfect'?

I will never be perfect!

Yea, I get straight A's and B's in school.

And I'm in three different clubs.

And president of the student body.

And I have my life all figured out.

But you don't know that I make mistakes everyday.

I try my best not too.

But life just gets so hard.

I've made many of mistakes in the past.

Some that you don't know about.

But some you do.

Why does it matter to you what I do in my life?

You keep bringing up one of my past mistakes.

Like I keep forgeting it and you have to remind me.

Guess what, I never will forget.

I regret doing it, I wish I could take it back.

But it was a stupid whim and I didn't listen to my gut.

I should've followed what I kept saying and what my gut was saying.

But I couldn't take it anymore.

So I did it.

No one knows about it, except you and one of my very good friends.

I wanted to keep it that way.

But of course, you had to go around and tell everyone.

Your basically setting me up to have my live ruined.

You know I regret it.

And you know that i have my stupid moments.

Well, guess what, this was a stupid moment.

And you know it!

Why can't you just drop it for now?

I try my best everyday to make up for it.

But everything I do just isn't good enough for you to forget about it.

There is nothing else I can do.

I've already tried.

Maybe it's time to just give up on everything in life.

Maybe it's the best thing to do.

Maybe it's the only thing to do.

I have nothing else.

Maybe it's time for me to give up on everything I've had set my mind upon.

Maybe it's time to just let go.
