***(Not) Flawless

Location

Flawless is not a thing for humans.

Flawless is a thing for gods.

And that's okay.

I am human and I am real. I am not flawless. I am not a god.

But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't love me like you love your gods.

That doesn't mean I don't deserve to be worshipped like I am indeed flawless. 

Because I deserve that. And so does every other person on this Earth.

I am not Flawless.

I woke up with flaws; I'll go to sleep with them, too.

But I love myself, flaws and all, and that--

that's as close as anyone can ever get to flawless.
