Imperfectly Flawless


I am not flawless because of my makeup

or because of the way I can deal with a break up.

I am not flawless at all you see, 

I am imperfect as imperfect can be

 

I cry a good bit and my hair isn't smooth

And my skin is never as clear as I'd like it to look

And I try to be sweet but sometimes I get mean

When others don't see things the way that I see

 

I'm not the most balanced or the most lovely

And I'm not the best at anything, really

But one thing I've tried to keep in my mind

Is that somebody loves me for me all the time

 

Because of my frizzy hair and blemished face

And my temper and teary eyes

I look at myself and I see my flaws

And its important to recognize

 

That although you aren't perfect, nobody is so 

And although things don't go the way you want them to go 

You're beautifully flawed and ungraceful

You're not only that, but you're inspirational

 

When you can see all the things that are wrong with yourself

But accept your flaws and still love yourself

Because you are as beautiful as beautifuyl gets

When you understand you're imperfectly flawless.
