Not Their Expectation


                                   I am Flawless,

                                    Though i know its hard to see 

                                    Since I am no 5'10" blonde, that beauty's just taller than me

 

                                     I am Flawless,

                                     No doubt, this is no mistake

                                     Beauty is mistaken for a barbie doll, in other words FAKE

 

                                     I am Flawless

                                     Why not? is my hair too coarse for view?

                                     I didn't put in my relaxer this time, so I'll rock my natural dew!!  

 

                                     I am Flawless,

                                     Wait, is my skin a little too dark?

                                     Should I avoid the sun today, or let it kiss this of work of art

 

                                     I am flawless,

                                     Yup, with no make-up or enhancement,

                                     My face was painted by my DNA, and a pitch of confidence

 

                                    I am flawless,

                                    But they don't understand

                                    That I am not their expectation, that is not who I am

 

                                    I am flawless!!

                                    As flawless as flaws can be!!

                                    I've accepted who I truly am, and the truth has set me free!!!!
