Imperfect Perfection


A bump on my face

A scar on my thigh

Battle wounds all over

My body doesn't cry

Strong legs to carry the burden of my marks

As my heart remains immune to ignorant remarks

Creams and surgeries will never be needed

Imperfectly perfect

That's how I see it

For the marks on my body all tell a story

And for that I am flawless

And will bathe in it's glory
