Flawless

Fri, 01/30/2015 - 19:22 -- Kenz

Fuck flawless.

I want to love my imperfections.

I want to let them see the stretch marks on my thighs

And my perfectly messy bed head

And I never ever ever want to apologize for getting the words wrong.

I want to trip in the hallway

And lock my keys in the car

And I want to laugh because it’s kind of fun to mess up sometimes.

I want to be powerful

I want to be kind

I want to be smart

Talented

Beautiful

Loving

Loved

I want to matter to people and I want people to matter to me.

I want to be everything big and small

But mostly big.

And I will do all of these things imperfectly

Because I do not ever want to be flawless.
