The Imperfection

Sometimes, you just can't feel that they're proud of you although you did your very best.

It hurts a lot you’ve done your best

When you have taken the biggest tests

Yet you cannot make them proud of you

And crying out loud was all you can do

 

They mostly remember the mistakes you’ve done

While the good things you did to them meant none

This grief in my heart you cannot erase

Stop judging me in your dreadful ways

 

Sorry if that’s what you think about me

If I just cannot do things flawlessly

You may not even know how it hurts me a lot

Here at the end I’ll just keep my mouth shut

Nice one MM..... and I love the last stanza.....strong emotions are flowing through the lines........"Here at the end I’ll just keep my mouth shut" I always do this to avoid making it worse............. ^^,

kaya kita mahal eh.......... muah...

This reminds me of the song Perfect by Simple Plan. Lots of kids and people scream out to parents, relatives, and even friends for respect and for them to be proud of them. I loved this one because it is very relatable.

Nobody is perfect and your poem says it all, absolutely... this is really nice write:-)

[Layla Anne Massaro]

We can never be perfect. There is always that one time that people will think of us in the wrong way. It's true that we can never please everybody. They have their own opinions, to think of it. Great work.

A very honest poem.

[The Cobra Lounge]

Been there sweetie. It's hard trying to meet everybody's high standards. And here's a secret for you...you will NEVER meet those standards. So be proud of who you are and all that you do...including the not so perfect part of yourself...it's what makes us all human, different, and special.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sometime better to say nothing then to be negative. Last line is good logic. Hard to be a parent or a student. Thank you for a excellent poem. Open the doors to a lot of thoughts.
