Hi Brenda, I am just going to write what came to my mind while reading your poem. Forgive me if it doesn't make sense.

Fold up... like origami?

So basically, you'll have to be like a piece of paper. You'll have to learn to be flexible so that you can fold yourself the way you want to be, while at the same time, remain unbreakable. If the paper is not flexible and strong, it can break. Or if it's too thick (headed) it might be too hard to fold it... and experience the desirable change.

It's interesting how your poem alludes to change.
Its specially in reference to the changes that have already happened and that have led to the imperfections. Imperfections that are not the desireable ones. These changes were not done by us consciously so realizing they took place, takes us by surprise and it's hard to get used to them. So the way to deal with them, it's through going to a conscious change. I guess is easier to accept changes when we are conscious that they will take place.

So basically, a question that popped into mind, what's stopping you from folding yourself up like origami like"?

well done. An enjoyable read.

I feel like this is a piece most people, if not especially writers, can relate to at multiple points in their life and that is a great quality for poetry to have. I also agree with Naughtymouse that your use of word choice and structure were extremely powerful.

Nice piece! Great use of a question at the end!
