I was taught

That no matter what happens

I would never be "flawless".

I was TAUGHT 

That who I am

Makes me flawed.

I WAS TAUGHT

That being exactly who I am

Was unacceptable.

But now I've learned

That who I am

Is just right.

Now I've LEARNED

That being who I am

Is the best way 

To make friends

NOW I'VE LEARNED

That no matter what happens

I am flawless.
