I'm a little less than perfect
But I'd like to think I'm there
I'm a little less than perfect
And it's true I'm starting to care
I'm a little less than perfect
That's why I'm trying to share
I'm a little less than perfect
I really wish you wouldn't stare
I'm a little less than perfect
I'm starting to believe I don't belong here
I starting to realize what I did wrong here
I'm actually starting to hear
Your screams of insanity
Echoing down the corridor
Is it possible?
But you're not here.
Now that makes more sense
It's my own voice that I hear.
But the screaming is not my own
No it cannot be
The sound coming from that wretched thing could never ever be
But it is
And it is
And always will be
That creature in the corridor is little lonely me
Screaming for some help
And a little humility
It even seems like the poor thing
Has lost her ability to see
She feels along the ground and stumbles as she walks
Her voice is slurred her hair's a mess
And she mumbles when she talks
Her voice is very clear
As she screams this down the hall
"I'm a little less than perfect and my name is..."
It bounces of the wall
And I can hear it now
I gasp for air and catch my breath
I whisper with her mumbled screams
And it is now I see
That the girl I'm looking at
Is none other than
"AnnaMarie"
She laughs and falls to floor and cries
With tears of blood, and swollen eyes
Rocks back and forth then shortly dies.
These mere seconds play often in my head
Of the girl who said she once was me
And now is surely dead.
I whisper her last words repeatedly
And rock slowly on my bed
The pain is too unbearable
And I begin to shake my head
Back and forth in an insane fashion
My body is filled with such an unknown passion
My heart begins to pound and then there it is
Another sound
Metal hitting ground
Dirt flying through midair
I hear my pastor whispering that last familiar prayer
I feel my way around and cannot see a thing
I begin to pray and hope that I am asleep
But then again it's not the worst way to go
Being killed by someone you love and know
I suppose it'd be the best way to go
That is if one had to I suppose
Regrets you ask?
I have but none
Or maybe perhaps just a little one
What is it you ask?
That I shall not say
For I carry it to my grave today
And here it is
Here am I
I suppose today I have surely died
I wonder if anyone even cried
Or tried
To leave me here
In this world of the living
But then again I realize
"I'm a little less than perfect"
And my feelings are unfurled
I close my eyes one last time
And think of happy things
I'll smile as I leave this world
As the bluebird sings.
I'm a little less than perfect
And now you will agree
I'm a little less than perfect
A girl named "AnnaMarie"
- Title: I'm A Little Less Than Perfect
- Artist: Nemaria
- Description: This a poem that I wrote about myself when I was going through a period of depression and self-discovery. It's kind of a way of letting go of my old (sad, over-emotional) self and finding my new self. A happier, more optimistic person. That is the kind pof person I am working to become. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. :)
