Not In Straight Line

*pic courtesy - painting taken from pinterest.

I am telling you

I am not perfect

My bed is messed up all day long

I have been said I am nothing but wrong

My voice cracks open a tragic song

My closet has clothes that don't fit me

There are times when even my dog doesn't sit with me

I am telling you

Life is not supposed to be..

What you want to see..

I have been thrown out, shouted at, made fun of, 

everytime I want to change and be free..

I have been called arrogant, stupid, mad, with ideas that shatter...

I discovered things that no one in the room thought but only if it could matter..

I am telling you

That people aren't perfect and nor they will ever be...

If you wait for them to align

You will be the one being struck out of line

Don't think every criticism is fine

Some are horrific with absurd design

So what if I am not perfect

I can tell that imperfection is abstract

Breaking the rules is not nodding to solicitations

I have tried, failed, then tried back and failed yet again

I am telling you

If you are like me

You see things that others fail to see

You will do things others won't necessary like

But you will still become someone

To lot of others who don't 

Want to walk in straight line
