...Denial?


                     "...Denial?"
I am flawless because I try,
even though I fail miserably.

I am flawless because I act bravely,
even though I am shy.

 I am flawless because I care,
even though I don’t show it.

I am flawless because I smile;
even though I feel otherwise.

   
I am flawless because I can brush off others comments,

but can’t brush away my own.
I am flawless because I broke away from the rest
to join the ones that can truly understand.
 I am flawless because I have few friend,
but they are my gold!  .
 
 I am flawless because I know I am imperfect.
 I am flawless because I accept my imperfections
    
       Who are you to tell me I am not?
     Am I stuck in Denial? Or are you?
