Are You Perfect

I see their eyes as they cast judgement on me
Just because I am not what they expect me to be
Not normal, they say, with their noses upturned
If today was the end, then shurely I would burn
But they know not my heart, who I am inside
Just because of my tattoos and views they push me aside
But I never truly wanted to be normal, normality is plain
And if I were anything closely resembling them I'd be driven insane
Yes I have my opinions and yes I express them out loud
But what makes you think that you are always right, what makes you so proud
Is it because you have had more success in life with worldly things
Look in the mirror at yourself for you too are a fallen angel with broken wings
No one is perfect, I once said perfection is a dream
Everyone is patchwork, flawed and having to be reseamed
That is only saying, that everyone has experienced pain in their life
You learn from your mistakes and learn to do what is right
And if you don't learn from your mistakes, down the hole you go
Deeper into lies and dispare hurting whomever you may know
So don't look at me thinking you are better, for I have a soul too
But I don't make excuses for my imperfections, wish I could say the same for you
I've learned to take what life gives you and to enjoy the things you can
And when the stormy weather is over, learn to be a better man
