Which of Us is Flawed?
Location
I was told to write about
An aspect of myself that is worthy of
Respect
And admiration.
But I say,
Every part of me
Is more than worthy.
I may not always seem
The kindest.
I appear to come off
Too strong,
But my intentions
Are pure.
I am not a size
0
1
2
3.
I am not a
Number.
I am
Me.
Society says
I have the right curves
In the wrong places.
My skin is too pale,
Too rough.
My teeth aren't at all
Straight,
But that doesn't stop me
From smiling.
My eyes are
Too wide and bright,
While everyone else's are
Dead,
Their
Blue
Brown
Green eyes shouting
"Is this good enough
Yet?"
My hair is too untamed,
Too frizzy,
Too curly,
In need of a straightener.
I have too many freckles,
Birthmarks,
Constellations
On my skin.
I'm too short,
Too thin,
My features
Too dark.
Too this,
Not enought that.
Too many
Flaws.
I don't look like
Her
Her
Or her.
I look like
Me.
Every
Mark
Vein
Pound
Scar
On me is
Unique
Beautiful
Perfect,
And if you think
Beauty only has to do with
How pleasing my body is
To your eyes,
I am not the one
With flaws.
