I'm a little disaster
You want me and I don't know why…
Opalescent big blue love-me eyes
Beautiful and captivating
Words that stick-
But I'm clumsy, blunt
I'm a scrap collection of leftover parts
A pile of unfinished drafts
And oh so easy, please break me hearts
I'm tripping, I'm falling
My own feet
My own words
My dearest enemy
Because everything about me is twisted
I'm polished and clever and anything but plain
Gods little joke-
Stained clothes, broken heel
And yes-I scraped my knees again,
Third time this week
I cry when I'm mad
I'm little miss know-it-all
Little miss can't be wrong
Little miss can't get the words out
Because I can't find the sentence to curse your name
My badass, girl power, super chic make up
Designed to knock you off your feet,
Leave you without words…
Streaking down my cheek
The joke is me-The frown on my oh-so lovely clown face
Watch me walk away…hair a mess, part undone
Nail polish chipped-shirt on wrong
Pant's too tight, shoes untied…
Don't you want me now?
Your secret little guilty pleasure…
Sinful dark chocolate truffles...
With no soft truffle center
That's just how they put me together.
Post-it-notes, my temporary short term memory
I'm beautiful and devastating
The accident, the quiet little adversity
Gods little joke…
A melodramatic perfection,
Gorgeous tragedy
I'm yours…
Your beautiful catastrophe
Just a little poem about me.

So, I listened to "O Come, O Come Emmanuel", The Piano Guys version, and this song goes with these lyrics in a rather psychotic way. Haha. Loved it!!! >>Happened rather by accident. So, if you can sing, or know someone who can sing, take that idea and run with it.

As for the structure of lyrics, viewing them by theirselves, they seem very sufferable. I think you might have too many things going on at once, but at the same time, a lot of poetry has exactly that: several topics and emotions.

The flow worked well, but I tell most people this: eliminating your "to-be" verbs will make your writing so much richer! Especially in poetry, because you're explaining an emotion in so few words.

Also, I think it would flow better if you didn't shift from "I" to "you" so often. You can tell me what the other person is feeling through your own emotions, or vice versa. It helps the reader focus on either the writer or the person they are writing about. (I hope that makes sense.)

My favorite lines were the last ones: "I'm yours... Your beautiful catastrophie." In reference to what I mentioned above, you might can keep both subjects of the "I" and "you" but organize them better. Separate them into stanzas, and keep the "I" in one stanza, and in the next stanza move on to the "you" in an "a, b, a, b, a, etc.", then combine them in the end.

Just some thoughts. There's nothing right or wrong about poetry. That's what makes it beautiful! I enjoyed this piece over-all.
