Cautious, Honest, Flawless


Wanting to show my kindness, intelligence, beauty 

But fear that my confidence will receive the labels of pride and conceit

I'm just going to be honest

Every inch of me is flawless

Vulnerable, anxious

Considerate, ambitious

Perfect is what I strive to be 

Sought after but never achieved

Can I not be all of the above? 

Even with these immperfections that I love

Crushing boxes that can't confine or define me

I wake up flawless

Struggles, trials,and tribulations 

Remain flawless
