Flawless?


Flawless?

We say we need to be perfect

Beautiful

Smart

Funny

Kind

We say we need to be flawless

But are we losing our minds?

We are each unique

Different

Good

Yet we say that isn’t good enough

We say we need to be perfect

Flawless

But how can we be?

We are human and our flaws make us so

We make mistakes

Choices

We make history

And yet we say we want to be perfect

We want to be flawless
