Alexandra, The Flawless


Sick and broken is what they thought

So far gone they thought I couldn’t be taught

But here we are twelve years later

Alexandra stands taller, smarter, and greater

The embodiment of strength; Flawlessness personified

 

Chunky and sweet, I was ripe to be teased

I had to fight just for the right to be me

But those days are gone, the fight is won

Alexandra stands empowered, stronger, and that much sweeter

The embodiment of strength; Flawlessness personified

 

I was sick and broken and thought I couldn’t go on

Being teased made me weak when I should have been strong

But I am Alexandra

The embodiment of strength; Flawlessness personified
