She was Flawless
Locations
When she was a child
She was flawless
Despite her tangled hair
That her mommy
Called “The Nest”
She was flawless
Despite the jeans
She ceased to wear
When her teacher
Made fun of the writing on the butt
She was flawless
Despite the things
She changed about herself,
She was innocent
She was happy
She was pure
When she was an adolescent
She was flawless
Though she did not treat
Herself that way
Or realize it yet
She was flawless
Despite the scars
On her wrists
And the tears
In her eyes
She was flawless
Despite the food
That went untouched
Into the trashcan
She tried to laugh
Everyday
And she tried
To be strong
For those around her
She was brave
She was courageous
She was resilient
When she was a teenager
She was flawless
And she finally began to see
Herself that way
For beauty is
Skin deep
And smiles
Are the
Greatest accessory
And her compassion
Shines brighter
Than her lip gloss
She is wise
She is limitless
She is alive
And so I think
The thing
That made her
Most flawless
Was when she accepted
That she
Is not flawless
At all
But now
She loves herself
Nonetheless
