True Flawlessness


Flawless, how you wake up.

Or Flawless, putting on your makeup.

flawless, getting clothes for ten dollars or twenty.

Still flawless getting Prada purses by the many.

Flawless, depicted as how you are seen.

As curvy or lean,

Whether fifty-five or eighteen,

wrong or right, 

tall or short,

based on if you did well on your progress report.

But, what does it really mean?

It it really what we can see?

Or is it what we can be?

Who we are, flawless.

What we stand for, flawless.

Our heart is where true beauty lie.

Our character is the real prize.

Flawless, not always the appearance.

Flawless, the heart and its clearance.
