Flawless

They say every body is beautiful, but -

"No one likes to snuggle a stick"

Fat is unhealthy; Skinny is plastic.

They say we all look beautiful,

and I disagree;

Not a single one of us looks beautiful - pretty, maybe.

You can't look beautiful when it's something you are.

I am flawless:

When I laugh too loud;

When I cry too much;

When my heart breaks;

Or when it sings.

I am flawless because I am human,

And I'm not the prettiest, nor the skinniest,

Nor will I ever be

(Nor do I need to be)

I am human and I am flawed - 

I have flaws and I love each one -

They're why I'm

flawless.
