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.
