What do you think this poem is about?

Nobody's Perfect

Nobody’s perfect
But nobody tries
No one gets respect
Everyone lies

Nobody’s perfect
Everyone cries
What did you expect?
Everything dies

Nobody’s perfect
But no one knows why
Is it for effect?
It just ends in a sigh

Nobody’s perfect
They just turn their backs
When life becomes wrecked
They turn to dope or jack

Nobody’s perfect
We get fired, we get sacked
Treating others with disrespect
Then we pack

No, the world isn’t great
It’s full of lies and deceit
Plastic girls, completely fake
But at least it’s complete

    true...at some point we all buckle under the pressure of stress or depression...indeed, nobody's perfect, but that doesn't necessarily mean nobody tries, it's just that they try and never get there. (i am one of those people-perfectionism is my biggest problem.) an interesting read...a 10++++++++ to you

    Amen to that Amy. perfect is very unnatractive, especially when its bought and touched up till their faces aren't able to use any expression any more, keep onw riting!

    The first thing I taught my chidren was don't expect life to be fair. You are correct no one is or can be perfect. You have a talent for ryhming but need to pay attention to your meter

    If it were perfect, it would be boring... So many things to learn, so much beauty to deserve... Good poem, Amy.

    Life has more positives.But we tend to notice only negetives
    Keep looking for positives and do not get mired in negetives
