Not Perfect

Let's sketch our flaws out. Paint them on our faces for the world's eyes and feel no shame; like the first make-up art of a little girl. Let's surrender to our imperfections. Throw out our dirty linen on the busiest alley Take a stroll over them; To red carpet our imperfect pictures in the world's gallery. Let's scream out our fears. Shout them out in reach of the mountain peaks; Believing courage stays that high beyond our reach. Come on babe, who said we have to be perfect?

Wanted to show everything can be beautiful, even imperfections. We just have to look in the right direction
