Even Though

I am flawless

Even though my voice is too shaky

Sometimes I'm too cranky

I am flawless

Even though my lips are too thin

My eyes are too dull

My face is too fat

I am flawless

Even though my chest isn't big enough

And my butt isn't toned enough

But I am flawless

Even though my teeth arent straight

And my hair isnt the same cut, style, and color as every photoshopped fake model in the magazine

I am flawless even though sometimes my mind is not fully connected to my mouth and I stutter

I am flawless even though my scars wont fade

I am flawless even though those scars cover my wrists and thighs

And the only reason they are there is because I was told I was not flawless when I thought i was

I am flawless because flawlessness is not the absence of perfection

But the acknowledgment of its non-existence
