Feeling Imperfect
By Jax Fliss
I’m Feeling a little
Asymmetrical
I’m Feeling like Somebody else
Who knows Me more than I know Myself
Do we change to Fit the Mold
That which we Scold for changing Itself
Were you Born Perfect?
Do you have the same number of Hairs
Covering your left ear as your right?
Can you write, Fight, try, Cry
Equally on both sides?
Were you born Imperfect?
Perfectly, Yes

Great job, Jax. Your poem is definitely thought provoking. Today's beauty standards are set far too high--no one has perfect symmetry. Way to be different. I hope I see some more of your work.
