flaws are not just mere words
that come out from the shallow openings of our mouths.
they start at the surface of our skins
from the day we were born,
crawling up to the very insides of our bones.
that's why they sting so deep
when used against us.
but,
once you start wearing them,
smiling,
maybe it won't hurt so much anymore.

flaws are not just mere words
that come out from the shallow openings of our mouths.
they start at the surface of our skins
from the day we were born,
crawling up to the very insides of our bones.
that's why they sting so deep
when used against us.
but,
once you start wearing them,
smiling,
maybe it won't hurt so much anymore.
the sum of your flaws does not equal to your worth
