I am not perfect. I have my faults. I make mistakes. I step on toes. I am not perfect. I tell lies. I stand by the truth. I look away sometimes. I am not perfect. I say sorry. I get angry. I am not self-righteous. I am not perfect. I pretend. I regret. I speak to the facts. I am not perfect. I am sinful. I am born-again. I can’t please everyone. I am not perfect. I am stubborn. I am humane. I am a child of God. I am not perfect. I am a staunch Christian. I don’t read my Bible always. I don’t pray always. I am not perfect. I wish I could help everyone. I wish I could be everywhere. I know wrong from right.

My name is Etsey Atisu and I am not perfect; I never will be but I still know wrong from right.

I am not perfect but I LOVE YOU.
