Flawless me.


Flawless me.

Flawless me.

The only me I wish to be.

Though I am full of anxiety.

I will continue to be,

Flawless me.

Flawless me.

The LGBT community,

Is part of me.

Flawless me.

Flawless me.

Beauty is not what you will see.

A model I do not wish to be.

I don't need to be told what I should look like.

Besides, beauty is for the beholder's sight.

Beauty inside is all I need,

To continue to be,

Flawless me.

Flawless me.

When times were tough I was stubborn as hell,

But I still needed help'd up when I fell.

Depression often takes over me,

Not that anyone could see...

Flawless me.

Flawless me.

Tough and strong is what I ought to be,

But my walls have been knocked down as you can see.

I will not fret.

I will not worry.

Though my mind always seems to be in a scurry.

I am me,

And that's all I can be.

I will always be,

Flawless me.

Flawless me.
