Freeform Poetry I

Elizabeth Perkins
For Professor Michaels

Filled with faults to the brim


Why lament and cry about it?
It’s impossible to be good at everything
That applies to him and her, you and me
I’m not special but that’s okay

If anything I’m simple


A lot of people would disagree
But I can confirm that times a hundred
Like a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Melting under the summer heat

I’m on my way
Free of worries and concerns
It’s the little stuff that matters
Call them the key to happiness if you must

The sunlight shining on me is the hue of lemons


And the world moves slowly
Maybe it’s just me moving in slow motion
But it feels right

A loose shirt and flat shoes


That’s what I’ve decided on today
Accessorizing it with a confident smile
I know that’s enough to catch your eye
If anything I’m simple
I love to doll up with clothes and make up
But that’s not hiding under any layers
A different appearance but the same me

If anything I’m lacking in perfection


But absolutely not in love for myself
I’m an overflowing glass of mistakes
And I’m more than okay with that

When I was younger


My hear was full of nonsense
And I acted on it like it was the only way to go
My reputation was that of a troublemaker
And honestly I haven’t changed a bit
That’s why I’m full to the brim with self love

The sunlight today has more of a honey like hue


Things around me move slightly faster than yesterday
It might be just me
But that works too

Tube top and a miniskirt


The tapping of my high heels on the floor
I’ll accessorize it with a confident smile
And that’ll be enough to catch your attention
