Imperfect, So What?

HeatherAnne • 1248 followers

I know that I'm not perfect,
I'm not pretty, I'm not smart,
I know that I have too-big ears,
But trust me: I have heart.

I know that I'm not brilliant,
Don't look like something great,
My nose too long, my legs too long,
My hair a god damned state.

I know my laugh is way too loud,
My strides mismatched and short,
And I can be forgetful, yes,
With everything I'm taught.

At least I try to do my best,
And take life by the hand,
While you pick all my bad points out,
I'll just take a stand.

A great write, but full of inaccuracies. You are pretty, you are smart, you are brilliant, you look great, your nose is perfect, and there's no such thing as legs too long on a girl. So in future I'd appreciate it if you checked your facts before you post. Thank you. 😊👏👏👏

My ears are also too big!! I feel your pain :( lol but it's actually proven the shorter the stride of a women the more attractive she is! Don't ask me, it's what I've heard 👍😜
