Flaws

I wish I could smile like her
I wish I could exude confidence...beauty
I wish I didn't have such a strong personality
I wish when I look in the mirror I didn't see me
I wish I was like her...
I wish I could see past my flaws and smile
I wish I was an optimist instead of a pessimist
I wish I could trade in my sarcasm
I wish my flaws were not my own
My flaws are my walls that I refuse to let fall
I wish I was like her-- open...
Instead I remain guarded reliant on my flaws
Understanding I will never be her
Never will I be that girl...
But there is beauty in being flawed
Beauty in my imperfections
Flaws and All
