Shattered Sky

My breath is not my own, borrowed

from the mouths of my loved

ones. I live for them so

I can repay for a soul

they shaped with

time. No price,

it is Flawless


 

Raised in poverty , society mocks my

weight and my love. Still I don't try

to be perfect. My "flaws" are part

of me, important. From the start

my family has loved me as is

so I have pride that this

is me, Flawless


 

I will show barriers can be broken. 

Dance with they who break open

this sky holding in our lives, 

shatter poverty, pain, strife.

The idea we should keep

together. So I reach

to be Flawless


 

My hopes, drawn from my loved

ones and their trust, I'm glad

they are always here for me.

Some are now a memory, 

still guiding from inside.

So my core, i confide,

family, is Flawless
