So many expectations

To be perfect

Be flawless

Inconceivable

Meaning unimaginable

In any shape or form

Overused, perhaps

As a hyperbole

As Inigo pointed out.

Yet flawless is just that

Perfection unachievable,

Truly unimaginable.

Inconceivable.

Because there’s always something

Some tiny speck

That could be found better.

Flawlessness is illogical,

However, somehow, some concept of the word exists.

And those that are

So self-absorbed

May use it to describe

The very selves they present every day.

Flawless is a lie,

An idea that cannot exist

Beyond the realm of what we think it could be

Untruthful by the fact that

There are imperfections in everything,

Even in our concept of

Perfection.

Using it is a lie

To ourselves and others

Giving us another flaw along with the rest.

Flawless is a term used for insecurity

Those that must over-exult themselves

To make themselves feel good,

Better,

Best.

Flawless is a broken word

Because nothing can ever make it true

Its own concept shattered by itself

Unrealistic expectations.

And thus, the word flawless is

In and of itself a flaw

And therefore, my refusal

To use such a term in my own insecurity

To have to make myself look better

To have to stand above the crowd

Is one of the things that makes me,

In the hyperbole of such a word,

Flawless.
