Imperfectly Perfect

Everytime I look at the mirror There are flaws on my skin which are clear All the dark spots on my skin Where people think it is a sin I think I had a beautiful smile But I left it a long while may be a mile When someone stares at my eyes which are round They can only see the dark circles around Tried to wear lots of make up But it just gets messed up I Ain't the girl with perfect shape Yet the girl with good heart When someone calls me ugly I leave the place happily When I reach home my eyes start to cry And looking at the same reflector Jus like other people I only saw my blear I hear the street whispering my name Calling me ugly ,fat at least that is the place where I got the fame I started my self to blame But never thought the person who said mind was a lame Begin to wear lots of natural and chemical products Where these stuffs made myself a person of abduct At one point I got tired of all the sayings I started to see myself as glowing Though I am not a model At least I can be the role model I have lots of flaws and scares So I started to love them as they are Eventually when I looked myself in mirror this time I gave a big smile And said "Beauty lies in heart and definitely not in face" ---dhanu??
