It's who I am; flawless.

Flawless
it makes me feel lawless.

Like I could do whatever I want,
and then just flaunt it.

But I sit and think,
what's that thing that makes me in sync?

The thing that sets me apart,
from everybody right from the start?

Is it my hair that no one can tame?
Where some days it makes people shout out and reclaim?

Where other days it's nice and proper,
making people re-glance and make me a show-stopper.

Or is it my face,
which people can't reclaim a certain race ?

“You must be Jewish,” they tell me,
“You're definitely Arab” they convey me.

Perhaps it's the way that I mix up my words when I speak,
After all learning 5 different languages makes me open to critique.

Or maybe it's the quirks that I show
like talking about farts and when to 'let go.'

So you ask me what makes me flawless?
You might need to sit down and take solace.

I think what makes me flawless is that I am me,
I am unique individual I am sure you'll agree.

I don't roll with the 'status quo'
I take my own initiative and then lie low.

I take pride that I don't fit within the 'generation'
Sex, drugs and booze ahck the frustration,
I don't need it to be happy it's my delegation.

I'll wait for marriage,
don't want to trash my beliefs as disparage.

I don't need weed in my life,
it's like stabbing my soul with a knife.

But they are my beliefs,
so if it's your choice you can sigh in relief.

This is not a condemnation,
Don't take offense, I want no alternations.

I am just prideful in the fact that I want a simple life,
One day in the future I'll become a wife.
I'll raise wonderful kids with no strife.
Love the people around me until the clock strikes.

And along the way I'll continue being unique
Living my own way of life in my own technique.
Not letting the media tell me what I believe in needs a tweak.
But color my life in vast colors far away from it being bleak.
