Perfectly Flawless


I am flawless 

I don’t have perfect skin 

It often breaks out 

And my nose is big 

Almost taking up my face 

My teeth 

Crooked and an open bite 

Lazy eye 

Perfect eye 

I am flawless

Bowlegged beyond compare 

Two left feet 

Two sally man hand hands 

Only pretty with color carefully sculpted upon the tips 

Stomach slightly bulging 

Hips wider than a load 

Way more junk in the trunk than I care to want 

I am flawless 

The way my smile brightens when I’m happy

The way my eyes glow with excitement 

The way I’m full of kinetic energy because I can’t stay still 

I am flawless 

I’m so full of flaws

That I’ve accepted that I’m perfect 

I’m flawless because I’m fine with the flaws 

Warts and all 

They make me me 

And why would I want to be anyone else? 

I. Am. Flawless 

So I just have one question left 

If you can’t say the same about yourself 

Are you jealous yet? 

Because I know my flaws

And I know not only the power they give me

But the power they take from you

I’m beautiful inside and out

How many of you can say the same with the straightest face?

Let your loved ones be your witness

I'm so close to going to college. I have a passion for poetry and not enough money. I'm hoping I can win a few scholarships to help me go to the college I've been accepted into. Poetry is the way i express myself so I guess everyone gets a piece now.
