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??
