Flaws And All!

[Jai]

I don't proclaim to be perfect

I'm far from it

But you can't seem to realize

That i have flaws

You only see the outside cover

And not take the time to get to know the "Real" me

I'm damaged goods

The product of an abusive childhood

That's left it's mark on me

And makes me question my existence

I have insecurities

That i work very hard to hide

Instead i choose to show

The good things i have to offer

Afraid to show you my flaws

Because you might not understand

And choose to reject me

Instead of giving me a chance

It's bad enough

That i get judged for who i am

By the very people

Who claim they love and care about me

They throw my flaws in my face

And make me feel like a bad person

I know i have issues

That i'm seeking help with

This is why i hide my flaws

I don't need to be reminded of them

I live with my imperfections everyday

The scars on my heart

Never heal or go away

I carry them with me

Everywhere i go

To remind me i'm human

I'm not perfect

I can accept my flaws

The question is

Can You?

~Jai~
