Perfectly Imperfect
Location
I got everything from my dad
Nothing was left out
I have got his height, his feet,
His hometown, his home street,
Hell, I even inherited his pout.
My brown eyes were once his
And so was my nose
His feet were bigger than even mine
The only difference is our birth signs
He was a Sagittarius and I a Virgo!
My dad is not the only thing that made me
I have my mom to thank as well.
She taught me honesty, humility,
And even to allow civility
Almost like I'm Beast and she's Belle.
She raised me with both hands
An only one parent household.
It was just the two of us fighting,
Screaming and crying
Until "I'm sorry" and we became less bold.
I can't give credit to only my parents
For they had a small part in how I am today.
I had to go through trials, sufferings,
And many polishings and bufferings
In order to become this way.
Many years later after dad's funeral
Only makes me realize
That he was always there
Not just to stop and stare
But to see me blossom from those lies.
Mom was there to keep me going
Even when I was low and sad
Especially when she realized why
I only sat and got many scars and cried
Although I started communicating only in my paper pad.
The real reason why I'm me is me
And that's because of many things.
It's because of my needs and that one decision
That determine my future and broadened my vision
I want to soar, so I have to earn my wings.
I'm perfectly imperfect because I decided to be.
I'm an anxiety-ridden, brown-eyed young lady
Who dreams of a Ph.D and traveling
To distance places and unraveling
Her soul in someplace sunny and shady.
