Flawless


I understand. 

I also feel your pain

because I've had to stand

shivering in the cold rain. 

Hoping that seeing my flaws would make me flawless. 

I see your hidden tears,

and I've felt your same sorrows.

I, too, have fears

avout my tomorrows;

Sadness and fear are the flaws that make me flawless. 

I have the same scars,

And I've screamed in distress. 

I also wished upon stars

That I could undo my mess. 

Same as I:

Your scars,

Your pains and sufferings -

Your flaws are what deem you flawless
