Imperfections
February 20, 2014
I catch myself staring almost immediately
as She slinks into the room
and sulks as She sits
I can see it in her tired eyes
I can read the expression on her creamy, pale face
She stopped caring
a long time ago
She stopped caring about her cracked lips and scattered freckles and her bright pink braces.
her figure wasn't perfect, and she had messy hair and a history of making mistakes and choices she regretted. And as she bends down, she starts to silently weep into her hands.
She is the most beautiful girl in the room.
