a flaw away from flawlessness


our bodies, made to be filled with flaws.

find release in the beauty of nature.

in the look of those we admire.

I am flawless because of the rain that washes them away.

I am flawless for the strength I have to uphold.

flawlfull enough to see my weaknessess in the sunshine.

for we cannot hide in the light.

but in darkness and rain our flaws wash away like a leaf in the winter.

with every flaw there is a release.

we die flawlessness, of the rain and darkness that wash away.
