Perfect Imperfections


I'm living in obscurity, I live with insecurities, My flaws have clouded my vision Now I'm blinded by imperfection. I'm on the outside looking in Cause I don't meet society's qualifications, So I take the world's rejection To fuel my inspiration. To be Better than you thought I could be, I'm exquisite with my own taste, Extraordinary in my own way, I've built up the courage to say I've won. Your obstacles didn't block me, Your words didn't stop me, Your weapons didn't kill me, They only made me stronger To fight back. I bet now you'll wait to judge the cover Before reading the book.
