Perfect Imperfection

Perfect Imperfection

A Poem by Dug
"

When I meet someone, and it seems like they've got it all together, there's no way that I can relate to them. It usually turns out that they're faking it anyway. It's people that don't try to hide their flaws that mean something to me because I can tel

"


Your hair is a mess today
And I say leave it that way
It brings out the spark in your eyes
And shows you've got nothing to hide

Locked your keys in the car again
Forgive me if it makes me grin
I know you hate being locked outside
But it gives me an excuse to give you a ride

Perfect imperfection
It's so dear to me
It's just what I need

Clumbsiness in the right direction
Can be beautiful to see

I'm running late today
But that's my typical Wednesday
I spilled coffee all on my shirt
While rushing off to work

My whole life's become a mess
I can't keep from losing it
But I know you'll see me through
Struggling to keep your head afloat too

Perfect imperfection
It's so dear to me
It's just what I need

Clumbsiness in the right direction
Can be beautiful to see

And just like a diamond
That's cut from the rough
You can tell it's a fake
When there aren't any flaws

And even if such a thing were real
I could never relate
To how you feel

I'm feeling alright today
Even with my mental state
With all the things that might be wrong
There's so much right that's going on

So you ruined another roast
Let a bug crawl on my toast
I'll still eat them anyway
Just because they're what you made


Perfect imperfection
It's so dear to me
It's just what I need

Clumbsiness in the right direction
Can be beautiful to see

And just like a moth
That's been left in the dark
I'm flying in circles
Around your spark

I don't much care
If I get burned
It's was all worth it
For what I've learned

I love this because it shows that nobody has to be perfect. I wish that my parents understood that, though...

wow beautiful! Refreshing really that someone can see beauty in the flaws. It made me smile, say "awwwww" and think all at the same time!

A lot of what's on here are song lyrics (plus a few random short stories when my imagination wanders). I write music, but I've been trying to focus on the lyrical side of things. Words and music when.. more..
