I am a leaf.


I am flawless.

I am not the flawless found in Vogue magazine. 

Nor am I the flawless with perfect skin and long hair.

 

I am the flawless found in a leaf.

A leaf is beautiful, simple.

It is harder to love than a beautiful red rose.i

A leaf takes time to discover and fully appreciate the beauty.

 

I look in the mirror everyday.

Everyday I see the same leaf.

Finally, I am seeing the beauty.

I see no flaws in the leaf anymore.

 

I am flawless.

I am not the beautiful red rose.

I am not the Vogue model.

 

I am a leaf.
