Perfect in the eyes of others;

Flawed in the eyes of the mirror.

I have stretch marks that show I have lived and grown.

I have scars that show I’ve fallen and gotten back up.

I have a smile that comes from pure happiness;

Or to hide my tears.

I am a listening ear;

Because I know what it feels like to not be heard.

I am a friend;

Because I know what it feels like to not have any.

I tell the truth;

Because I know what it feels like to be lied to.

Life is an arrow.

Pull me back as much as you want because I know

 I will be shot into something beautiful.

I know what it feels like to love,

Lose,

And be alone.

Because of this I am stronger than ever before.

Because of this,

I am flawless.
