Uncovered


Flawless is a word full of deceit and perception, bias and deception

I long to know the true meaning of beauty as I pass the many beautiful woman in society

After years of wishing "man if I only had her eyes" or " hey she has a nice body" I wish I could see the beauty that is me

And now I can.

 

My long flowing hair is the second cousin of the material silk

My caramel tinged skin is the object of envy to the many wandering eyes

My almond shaped eyes tell a story that is sometimes contradicted by the mask on my face

My soft yet slightly chapped lips are the gateway to my abstract mind

My gentle and strong hands are often compared to that of a model's and given a reputaion of capability.

 

Nobody is ever happy with the way they look

They can only be content with what they have.

 

I obtain the height of a midget, five' none" to be excat and am rarely seen being tossed in crowds

I have the balance of a highly intoxicated elephant

I cannot stand a tickel fight because I snort like a pig on life support

I am mistaken for being younger than my age which makes it hard to drive without being pulled over twice a day

I tend to make unladylike noises of discontent when I am dissappointed and talk to myself.

 

The image of perfection is self-evident in that I'm perfect in my imperfection

These qualities are what make me human and the human in me embraces these wondrous attributes

My simplicity is the epitome of my ultimate beauty

But most of all it is my brain that makes me who I am, because my brain is all that matters.
