I am tall with brown hair and brown eyes
Years of football making my body hard and lean
I am strong and fast
This is why I am less than perfect

I am caring and tenacious
Girls flock to me
I am charming
This is why I am less than perfect

I am a writer and dreamer
High honors
I am confident
This is why I am less than perfect

I am for the moment and future
But neither now nor later
I am perfect
This is why I am less than perfect

I am tall with brown hair and brown eyes
Years of football making my body hard and lean
I am imperfection
This is why I am less than perfect
