Some People Cringe

I am flawless

and that's okay.

I am flawless

and I don't need to be ashamed

just because some people cringe

when they hear my name

spoken out loud

all because they feel I shouldn't be so proud.

 

I am confident

and that is good.

Though in the past

I, too, have worked hard

to be understood.

But, I've blown through demons so dark.

And, now, the future is what I embark.

 

I am beautiful.

That is not bad.

And, just because I am beautiful

doesn't mean I make others sad.

I am beautiful

and I think I can say

that just because I am beautiful

doesn't change a thing.

 

We all are flawless.

And that's okay.

We shouldn't run and hide

when someone says our name

in a positive way.

So, let's stop throwing fits

and recognize our worth.

It is time to take off the invisibility cloak

and shine bright today.

 

I am flawless just like you.

We are all flawless in various ways.

We shouldn't change

even if someone cringes

when they hear our names

spoken out loud

because they feel we shouldn't be so proud.
