Imperfect

What I offer
Is not all I have to give
But

It is all I am willing to share
Seeking perfection
Before

I reveal more of myself
Knowing from experience that
I

Am never quite satisfied
With what I am, wracked with
Despair

With visions of the self I’d rather be
Consuming me while I strive to
Find

Something to hold onto
Something about this imperfect girl to
Love.
