Flawless Flaws


I am beautiful. 

I have some spots on my face, but I love them

I have a nose that stands out

But that just reminds me of my Jewish heritage

My smile is what people see

My eyes glisten as my ideas come alive

I wake up with beautiful flaws

But I go to sleep remembering they're flawless

My weight does not define me

My mind is what gains 

I do not see split ends in my hair or acne on my chin

I only see me

And that's pretty beautiful.
