Flawless

Every morning I wake up to this face

The face  of my father

The face of my mother

It's my face, not that of another

 

I have my father's eyes

I have my mothers cheeks

I have the manly chin

and the widow's peak

 

My teeth may be crooked

But they are white without a dentist

My muscles may not be toned

But I can walk and hug without assistance

 

I may have my father's giant head

I have my mother's giant thighs

I have my father's stubby fingers

With my mother's tiny shoe size

 

What many think are faults

I see as part of me

Without them, I'd be someone else

Without them, they wouldn't be my family

 

I am flawless because I am me

I am flawless because I am them

Everyone is flawless just like me

Everyone is flawless just like them
