Perfect?
Jess Dillon
Grade 8
Who is perfect?
Are you-perfect?
You are-are you?
Well, I'm not
Who is perfect?
I am full of crazy hair and crazy noises
Bad habits and bad voices
I'm perfect in my very own way

I am the person you bullied at school,
I am the person, who didn't know how to be cool,
I am the person you alienated,
I am the person you ridiculed and hated.
I am the person who sat on her own,
I am the person who walked home alone,
I am the person you scared everday,
I am the person who had nothing to say.
I am the person with hurt in her eyes,
I am the person you never saw cry,
I am the person living alone with her fears,
I am the person destroyed by her peers.
I am the person who drowned in your scorn,
I am the person who wished she hadn't been born,
I am the person you destroyed for "Fun",
I am the person, but not the only one.
I am the person whose name you don't know,
I am the person who just can't let go,
I am the person who has feelings too,
And I was a person, just like you.
