The Sifted me


take a glance at me and tell me what you see

probably, something other then what i really am

just like a lion has it's fur, it can be mistaken for innocence

but its vicious claws are hidden underneath his paws

and his jacked teeth left unscathed by the cruelty it derived

 

casualties have gone unanswered as to why they have happend

I am none but a causalty forgotten

If you want to judge, and to deem me unfit

I pray you take another glimpse 

 

Sift through my foible failures and turn them into unnering badges

the clumps in my heart only need to be dissected

like a cell has it's many functions, so do I 

who are you to say that i have no say

 

I am but a tree in the valley

I seek to grow not shrink

Flawless means trying to be the best person you can be inside

aspire to become true to yourself and i deem you: Flawless

Music is my passion. My heart is big enough for many hobies.
