A Perfect Example of Imperfection.

by CourtneyyContageous   Jul 5, 2008


Go ahead and judge me
But think before you do
Not everyone is perfect
No, not even you

I don't want to be another girl
Brainwashed by T.V
Don't want to be another girl
Who thinks she's not good enough to be

I'm the girl who comfortable
In my clothes, body, and mind
So go ahead and judge me
Let's see what wrong you find

I'm not going to let the world
Decide where I'm going to go
I'm going to hold my head high
To be me; my only goal

I may not be perfect
And nor do I want to be
But the only way you'll understand
If if you just see me, for me

I may not have the prettiest smile
The perfect money-bought face
I don't want to be anorexic
Because that's what T.V says is ideal weight

I was not put on Earth to please you
To be another Barbie clone
I am me, that's all I can be
So tell me what else is wrong

So go ahead and judge me
But think before you do
I'm happy with my imperfections
But tell me girl, are you

    This was really good.
    i don't say that very often
    but your writing gave me goose bumps.

    Wow, this is so true and I can't believe this is what girls do. I am young and a girl, but I dont think the answer to losing weight is to not eat. Who ever came up with that is just insane!!
    But I love this, and keep that poem in mind. Because one day you will have to face the question "Am i beautiful?" Yes, yes you are, everyone is; inside and out.
    So i hope you won't listen to others and keep your head high and be stubborn. No one can contral you, and no one should. Well love this peice of work, keep up the good work!!

    "Go ahead and judge me
    But think before you do
    Not everyone is perfect

    ^^ Wonderful opening stanza. It's bold, and honest.

    "I don't want to be another girl
    Brainwashed by T.V
    Don't want to be another girl
    Who thinks she's not good enough to be"

    ^^ I liked this, though I think maybe you should reword the third line so as not to repeat the first line. But even if you don't, it's still very good.

    "I'm the girl who comfortable
    In my clothes, body, and mind
    So go ahead and judge me
    Let's see what wrong you find"

    ^^ First line -- "I'm the girl who IS comfortable". This stanza is also very good. I like the honesty that is pouring from your words.

    "I'm not going to let the world
    Decide where I'm going to go
    I'm going to hold my head high
    To be me; my only goal"

    ^^ I love this. It's my favourite stanza. You're basically saying that you'll be who you are, and you won't change for anyone, regardless of what they think.

    "I may not be perfect
    And nor do I want to be
    But the only way you'll understand
    If if you just see me, for me"

    ^^ In the second line, I don't think the word "And" should be there. The fourth line, you have the word "if" twice.

    "I may not have the prettiest smile
    The perfect money-bought face
    I don't want to be anorexic
    Because that's what T.V says is ideal weight"

    ^^ I liked this a lot. I know I've been saying this, but the honesty in this piece is amazing.

    "I was not put on Earth to please you
    To be another Barbie clone
    I am me, that's all I can be
    So tell me what else is wrong"

    ^^ This is really well written. I liked this.

    "So go ahead and judge me
    But think before you do
    I'm happy with my imperfections
    But tell me girl, are you "

    ^^ The fourth line, should end with a question mark. Other than that, the ending is perfect.

    Overall; Between the amazing amount of honesty, well written words, and the meaning behind the piece, it's a fantastic poem.

    5/5

    Awesome job. I like the meaning of this poem. Everyone tries to be perfect but no one is. You are only perfect by being imperfect and makin mistakes lol (if dat makes sense) Great job
