Blemishes


Upon my face lie no blemishes

Nor marks

On the outside, I am what they consider flawless

On the inside, I am considered the opposite

I will not lie

Nor subject myself to the way of the world

I am not flawless

But I am flawless in the eyes of those who love me

And that is good enough.
