I have my share of scars
The world has hurt me
Too little… too much.

I try to be
The perfect
Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Now, I know I'm not...
good, smart, pretty, creative
…enough.

I won't ever be (the) perfection
But since I met you
I can see the change in the mirror|rorrim

Although you aren't noticing it,
I'm smiling all day
I'm feeling like "me"
With you around.

You give me the feeling that
I am imperfectly perfect

Ah, sorry I never got back to your note there. >.<

I really like this now, especially with the way you've stressed out certain parts of the poem more to further emphasise what you mean and such.

It wouldn't hurt to put a few commas here and there, like after "Now", although it's not that major a point.

You don't really need "the" before "perfection" but putting brackets around it would make it more interesting, perhaps:

I won't ever be (the) perfection

I think it should be "knew" and not "know"? O.o

You don't really need "the" before "day".

I also feel that it wouldn't hurt to stress the "am" part in "I'm" so:

I am imperfectly perfect.

Good stuff, though. :)
