I Am Beautifully Flawed
Location
stroke of brush
paint drips down,
down until color runs thin
a bulb is formed
fingers run lazily,
dazedly over the imperfection
imperfect
perfect is opinion
flawless is a flaw
I think biased thoughts.
I say stupid things.
My body is too thin.
My hair is unkempt.
I do not use makeup.
I wear sweatpants to class.
My eyesight is diminishing.
My skin is covered in stretch marks.
dazed
quietly passing pencil between fingers
not touching paper
mindful of the inner world
one voice is heard
noises surround,
pound against bone
tearing wallpaper
stroke, drip, bulb
one voice my own
one body stands
I am not flawless.
I am flawed.
I am beautifully flawed.
I am special.
I stand up for Myself.
I rely on Myself.
I listen to Myself.
I am strong for Myself.
I love my flawed Self.
