I AM FLAWLESS


I am flawless.

I am not flawless because of the amount of money I own

Nor am I flawless due to the color of my skin.

The length of my hair does not make me flawless

and neither do the clothes I wear.

I am not perfect

But I AM flawless.

I am flawless because I stand up for what I believe in.

I am flawless because I do not let others control my mood.

I am flawless because I refuse to conform to society.

Society hates different

and society hates uniqness.

Society wishes for everyone to strive to be like everybody else.

I do not agree with society.

I will not let society take away my individualty;

Therefore society hates me.

But what society thinks about me does not matter

What matters is what I think about myself.

And I AM FLAWLESS.
