Is having a comma in this sentence correct?

No. It might be clearer if you would change it to, "I'm the perfect mistake that I'm hoping you'll make."

If this is a line in a poem, there are no real rules of grammar in poetry. Still, the comma would be unnecessary.

No
The comma separates the sentence, therefore the first half of your sentence just means that you are the perfect mistake, and then the second half of your sentence would appear not to be finished - "I'm hoping you'll make......" See what I'm saying?

Julie is wrong (sorry!).
There should not be a comma in this sentence.

What is really being said is "I'm the perfect mistake (that) I'm hoping you'll make"
Said that way, perhaps you can tell that there should not be a comma.

You could insert punctuation (but a semicolon, not a comma) by writing:
"I'm the perfect mistake; I'm hoping you'll make it."
Or you could insert a comma if you use a co-ordinating conjunction:
"I'm the perfect mistake, and I hope you'll make it."

However, the sentence as you have written it is best -- just delete that comma.
"I'm the perfect mistake I'm hoping you'll make."
