Non-Flaw

July 31, 2015

I'm no Beyoncé nor Halle Berry

I'm no Jennifer Lopez nor Angelina Jolie

But the features plastered on my face are alarmingly

Beautiful. 

 

I may not be able to sing

Like Adele or Mariah Carey

But I have a voice that can articulate

How I feel, and touch a nerve in someone's

Body. 

 

I may not be rich and live in a mansion

I may not own all of what I want

But I'm living because I have all the materials

Needed. 

 

My boyfriend may be imaginary and nonexistent

But I have men in my life that will

Love and admire me more than any other

Man.

 

I might have I hated the way I look

I may have degraded my beauty

But now I take pride in my

Flaws.

 

Now, what are flaws?
