Flawless Poem
We focus on the wrong things,
Things that make you feel like
I am not good enough
Unworthy feelings…
Tell them to take wings
Flawlessness?
What is the test
It is the view of value
Not what I do, clothes I wear, my hair or make-up I do
Where is importance
Something needs to change because something is strange
Is it my looks, no
I look in the mirror, the mirror of my soul
I am worthy of respect and admiration
Get my value in loving me
It is not what you see or who you can be
The value is in my belief
In this world it comes as a relief
loving myself as I love others
Seeing people as a Sister or Brother
My view of value
Comes from within and not without
What I have to hold onto
Love is my view of value
As I am loved, and I love myself, then others too
Generate self worth internally
Someone loves me
Just for whom I am, this is my faith
I can state my case
In a flawless test, I fail
What if that is not the standard
But a belief in one word…love.
Love from in, around, out and above.
A love unconditionally, it is for me.
