Flawless Beauty

Every one of us has those flaws inside which we always try to change.
We never try to accept them instead and let them be part of our beauty.
I used to get dragged down by my imperfections because I wanted to be perfect.
Then I learned that no one is perfect but we can all be beautiful.

I have elective mutism which makes it hard to talk and so I am misjudged by those who don't understand.
They think I am ignoring them or trying to be rude, truthfully I am still choking on the first hello.
But suffering from this has taught me how to communicate without the use of words.
It shows I make more of an effort to know you and that I genuinely care.

I am infested with so many fears
because of my troubled past.
It makes me cautious when trusting people and it takes time to let them in.
If you stay long enough to get through you will meet a loyal friend.
If you take a chance on trusting me, I will learn to trust you too.
I will never judge or mistreat you
like so many have done to me.

I have obsessive compulsions
which are too hard to explain.
It's so hard to try and fix them
when it's all I have ever known.
It takes up all my energy
just thinking of where to start.
The endless list that makes my disorder complicate my daily life.
But that doesn't change the person I am, it all just make me who I am.

I am a beautiful person
because my heart intends to care.
These flaws I have do not own me and they do not make me bad.
My beauty grows with each new smile that I place on another's face.
And as long I can always care
for those I learn to love,
I will always accept my inner flaws,

because they make me who I am
and create my flawless beauty.
