Imperfections
Sometimes we run,
We paint our faces to hide our imperfections,
Tattoo our skin to stand out,
We wear expensive shoes and pretty clothes to get attention,
We change our eye colors or hair color, just to feel different,
Some throw up, and others simply don't eat.
Always telling ourselves,
"You're not good enough."
As children we dream of a fairy tale ending,
But we grow up and realize...
Fairy tale endings are just that,
Fairy tales.
Then one day,
You'll ask yourself,
"Why do I feel this way?"
"When did this start?"
Sometimes we run,
But then somebody points out,
Your imperfections, the things you try so hard to hide,
The freckles on your face
