I Know Poem by Josh Austin

I Know



I know that Im not the perfect person
I know that Im not the perfect friend
I know that Im not the perfect brother
I know that Im not the perfect son

I know Im not perfect cousin
I know that I can be a jerk
I know I can be a nice guy
I know that I'll always be here for all my fiends

I know that Im not perfect
I know that Im the perfect sutdent
I know that Im not the best at everything I do
I know that my thoughts will get better

I know that my mind will clear up
I know that I'll be happy in due time
I know that Im not the perfect person

To Josh Austin (author of this poem) and Shannon Nagel (who left a comment) : nicely written, love the flow, and the message you're trying so hard to bring across. Here is the secret tho: you are perfect. And only people who embrace that every little thing that makes them different from anyone else, also makes them perfect, are able to stand tall and say 'I AM PERFECT' without being arrogant. You are a perfect being, exactly as you need to be right now, at this very moment in time. Just because you make mistakes does not mean you are not perfect. And we fall short, because it's so much easier to fail and play the victim than stand up and take responsibility and try again.

Wow, this poem is so good. Are any of us ever perfect? We all fall short and we all make mistakes... when we recognize this, we become better people I think. Good write! :) Shannon
