ImperfectionsA Poem by aloghty
She undresses, clothes pooling on the floor
Judging eyes gaze upon her body Her flaws start jumping out Invisible words written on her skin "Too fat" thighs whisper "Un-even" shoulders sigh "Too small" lips breathe "Crooked" teeth mumble She climbs into the shower and tries to ignore her tears Perfect is just a concept, an ideal, a dream Something she will never be Suds cover her body, tracing every line and curve They smother the bad and allow the good to peek through The truth she refuses to see "Elegant" long fingers praise "Unique" different colored eyes announce "Cute" small nose observes "Beautiful" her body declares The curtain is draw aside, she steps out Steam hugs her close as the mirror calls her attention Begging her to take another look She does Yes, she has her imperfections Some are good; others... not so much But it really doesn't matter Her imperfections are what makes her wonderfully interesting © 2012 aloghtyFeatured Review
