Analysis of Maybe I’m Not So Perfect

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



Maybe I’m not so perfect,
It seems I’m not smarter.
You’ve made my world it,
It may be sometimes harder.

All I’ve wondered it is you,
You’re my lover until the end.
Just I hope that loving is too,
Because she’s my great friend.

Just don’t wish for the hatred,
Loving you might be a chapter.
Think about us for the positive,
Maybe I think before and after.

Maybe I’m not so perfect at all,
Just can’t stop wondering of her.
She’s everything, I’m at her call,
I may not be perfect, not dumber.
