Imperfections

-Can lead to many misconceptions, Of the perfect beings
-Why do we treat ourselves so mean? It isnt just me.
-Whom tend to cling to unrealistic things, That a body must
be without stretch marks,scars,blemishes,and cottage cheese.
-We arent pleased because some of us see these things,which our marks.
-That does not show a person's heart,our how intriguingly smart they are.
-To often we live through other's eyes to be what we see.
-Rather then accept our flaws,we conceal them instead!
-The media's job is to put these images in our head,that promotes false standards,
-we try to illuminate a sense of perfection,Far to many
of us get caught-up in the obsession to be flawless.We must
-learn to embrace our imperfection's and take pride of
-what we see in our reflection,Or we'll remain stuck
-in a jaded direction.True beauty comes from within and 
-doesn't radiate based from the surface of our skin!
