FOR SHE IS FLAWED

Confidence is admired,

Yet strenuously acquired,

So she puts on a brave façade,

Struggles to beam even when deep down she is sad,

Yet she fails once again,

For she is flawed!

Every day she battle insecurities,

In ways we would never fathom,

She braves a barrage of negatives,

Day in day out,

Sometimes it takes its toll on her

For she is flawed!

Every so often she falls,

Takes a turn that turns out false,

For that she is judged,

Accused, misunderstood,

She really can’t be perfect,

For she is flawed!

They put her on a pedestal,

Judge her by their own standards,

They yank her off the pedestal,

She can’t match up to incredibly high standards,

It is impossible,

For she is flawed!

Sometimes she says something mean,

Talks before she thinks what she means,

Don’t we all slip sometimes?

We are not charged for it like major crimes,

For that she is sorry,

For she is flawed!

Cut her some slack,

This life is hard on everyone,

It really is nice if someone has your back,

Every once in a while when you go one wrong,

That’s all she asks for,

For she is flawed!
