Flawless


Flawless Am I that Could I be that Wish I could be Looking in the mirror I saw them all Big nose, big forehead, ugly smile I fixed the smile But what about the rest? Work out Try to get a bigger butt Thicker legs Bigger arms Eat Try to gain weight Am I too skinny? Looking into the mirror I saw them all Why must God have made me so small? Whats pretty about me? My eyes it must be.. People compliment them so much But is that it? Wish I could be like Beyonce In my eyes she was flawless She had everything Not a flaw I could see Soon I began to realize Maybe I am also flawless? Maybe I am pretty Everyone has they're own beauty There is no perfection in anyone I had to tell myself "Stop trying to change yourself Stop wearing make-up No more work outs No more forcing yourself to eat more You are flawless in your own way" I struggle sometimes in maintaining my belief But it doesn't all come in one night It takes time Looking in the mirror I no longer see them all Im starting to see what people mean when they say "You're so pretty" I don't have to have a small nose or small forehead I don't have to be thick.. Flawless Am I that Could I be that Yes, I can I am smart I am beautiful I am content I am FLAWLESS
