Flower


I am a flower

that bends

in the wind

 

I am misshapen

one petal

to short

 

I am two colors

my genetics

indecisive

 

I am photographed

sniffed and enjoyed

despite my flaws

 

I am flawless

perfect

in my imperfections

 

A flower is rarely called ugly

despite its flaws

and imperfections

 

I am short

I am misshapen

I am scared

 

but

 

I am me

A flower

beautiful

 

no matter what anyones says

be a flower

and together

 

create a

fragrant garden

of glorious


Imperfection
