I cry softly as I lay in my bed Because I can’t get rid of these tears I shed I lay quiet and still with these thoughts in my head The thoughts of my failures and the millions ahead If I could be perfect for just one night I would prove to everyone that yes I can do right I would stop all the problems I would stop all the fights Oh yes to millions I would be such a sight But no one on this earth gets that opportunity To live with such pride and the integrity Failure is a part of life No one can be a perfect child, husband, or wife So I live each day like it’s my last I don’t focus on the future and I don’t focus on the past I just live my life and let the time pass Because life is a huge hour glass
I love this... this is my favorite one so far because this poem just speaks to me as I know that nobody is perfect, so I should always try and do my best... Keep up the good job!

Hi Emmanuela, thanks for sharing this inspiring poem! Many of us wished to be perfect or lead perfect lives and cried tears of frustrations or helplessness when we thought we were failures. But it's hardly possible to lead a life without mistakes or failures and hoped that everything was perfect. So to live life as a "huge hourglass" would certainly make us cherish the limited time we have on earth and not be caught in the perfection trap!
