FLAWLESS
I wake up and look in the mirror
To red marks and scars on my face and body
I cover them with makeup and whatever I can find
But what I don't have to cover up is what makes me
FLAWLESS
What makes me stand out
What makes me different
It doesn't make me better
But it makes me different
My intelligence makes me
FLAWLESS
I will never cover up my mind
Not for any man
Nor any woman
Because to be intelligent means to be
FLAWLESS

I'm Taylore. I'm a feminist, history buff, and a Marvel comics nerd. My favorite hero is Quicksilver, I could talk about him ALL DAY. My favorite historical figure is a tie between like twelve, so we won't touch that here. I'm just here to express myself and support others.
