Would I Be Perfect? Poem by Erika Peace

Would i be perfect if my name was different?
Would i be perfect if my parents were someone else?
Would i be perfect if my race was different?
Would i be perfect if i had straighter and longer hair?
Would i be perfect if my eyes were another color?
Would i be perfect if i was taller?
Would i be perfect if i was wider?
Would i be perfect if i was lighter?
Would i be perfect if i didn't make simple mistakes?
Would i be perfect if i was fake?
Would i be perfect if i gave up my own perfection?
Would i be perfect if i told my true confessions?
Would i be perfect if i didn't have my flaws?
Would i be perfect if i were as free as the midnight air?
Would i be perfect if i let the world see my tears?
Would i be perfect if i let my fears show?
Would i be perfect if i had someone beside me to hold my hand?
Would i be perfect if i heard i was beautiful every time i walked out the door?
Would i be perfect if i ate too much or ate too littlle?
Would i be perfect if i gave into societies criticism?
Would i be perfect if my choices were brighter?
Would i be perfect if i wore my clothes tighter?
Would i be perfect if i was imperfect?
Would i be perfect if i wasn't me?
