Take Me Swimming

Location

The infamous "they" say

Take her swimming on the first date

Cause you wanna see what you will wake up next to

 

I love that

Because with me

You got what you got what you got

I barely do the makeup thing

It doesn't do anything but make me a different color

And I'm a Black caramel princess so I'm coloful enough

 

Flawless doesn't exist

But if it did

I could be it

 

Flawless means to be so unified with your flaws that they melt away when you touch them.

 

And well, I fit that description

I am pretty, except when I'm not

I am smart, except when I'm not

I am kind, except when I'm not

I am human

 

And as a human who rejoices in humanity,

Who loves people

Who loves progress

Who loves love

Who loves flaws, everybody's flaws...

 

That makes me hashtag, flawless.
