Flawless I Am


How many people can say they are from China and live in America?

A lot.

How many can say that but are also adopted?

A lot, but not as many.

How many people can say both of those are true were also raised by a single mom?

Not too many.

 

Boy, have I learned a great deal about life

I don't have a hard life, nor do I struggle fitting in

I do, however, know what it is like to be told a racial slur

I know what it is like to be the only Asian in my school

I know what is is like to never be able to have a father-daughter dance

I know what it is like to not have everything I want due to being raised by a single mom

My mom is the bomb.com and I am grateful for her every second of the day

 

I have learned from all of my differences and obstacles

I have not turned bitter

I have not felt any less adequate about myself

I have grown and matured in ways some of my peers may never

I love the life I live because it has made me into the person I am now

My "flaws" are beautiful and that is why I am flawless
