My Imperfection

I'm not perfect
I won't always make the right decision
I'll never know what my future holds for me
nor can I change who I am.

If you want the body of Venus
the hair of Sampson
or the beauty of any goddess,
I hope you enjoy your mingles with Morpheus
Because I am merely Hades' shadow.

I will never look like I did before
I am not of Hebe
I will never have the wisdom of Athena.
Cupid has me in a choke hold
and Persephone is attached to my hip.

If you find fault, then I'm not to blame
These imperfections make me different from you
and I'm proud to call them mine.

If you find fault and refuse to accept me the way I am
why need I be with you?
If you don't love me and my imperfections
then you have no right to waste my time.
All I can say is good-bye
and wish you a good one.
