Flaw
A minor cut. A skipping CD. An irregular heartbeat, a lazy eye that has less focus.
Uneven hair, too thick thighs. A nose you just wish you had the money to fix with plastic
surgery. An error, a mistake, a thank god i'm not stuck to my Simease twin statement. A
glitch, a pimple too red and too huge to call simple. An unfinished book. A failing grade
on your hardest effort. A guy your afraid of is fear your flaw? A victim of rape , never
knowing the soft caress of making love gently. Am I flawed because i'm too smart? Am I
flawed because i'm too stupid. Am I flawed because i'm white but listen to rap music. Is
the industry flawed for stereotyping the common look of a rapper? I don't understand
flawed... Why am I defective? Why don't I work? Why don't I mix together. Just because
i'm not perfect doesn't mean that i'm flawed. What my eyes see are many pieces of my
puzzle that all fit together and I don't live beneath the ocean of flaws.
