Flaws
December 18, 2011
The world isn't my oyster
It is theirs.
They-
They who expect me to be
Perfect
~
One mistake
I am judged
Leaving me feeling worn
And beaten
Like a pair
Of your favorite shoes
~
I do not believe in perfection
Flaws
Reside in everyone
Everything
~
But they-
They who
Judge
They who expect perfection
I cannot escape their clutches
