I Am Flawless


Beauty resonates from within.

An elegance that consumes and forms.

Smile. Voice. Skin. Personality.

Inside and out.

But I felt the whispers closing in...

Fake. Ugly. Unworthy.

Clouding my mind and spirit like a dark plague.

Worst was that I let it.

The flaws...

Yes. The features I felt conscious about.

I remember feeling low,

A disappointment.

Yet my flaws have become a part of me,

An effortless coating of reality that engulfs you

And your essence.

Something I refused to lose.

I realized that we are canvases

And life is the paintbrush.

Beauty should have no limits,

Like the great oceans that cradle

Our world.

I learned that being flawless

Is accepting

And being proud,

Of the diversity and beauty that set each of us apart.

Embrace that we are

Strong.

Fierce.

And flawless.

Believe that.
