Unperfect Me

By HadassahDare

 All the little imperfections,
all my little flaws
the stretch marks
the crooked teeth
the too-big thighs
it's not everything you want
too much complaining
too many tears
it's not everything you want
I'm not always so willing
I'm not always so happy
I'm not ever that perfect
it's not everything you want
Was she ever everything you wanted?
Did she have perfect skin?
Her teeth were straight,
her thighs, oh so right,
she said what you wanted to hear,
she said she'd always be there
she was your happy girl
and happy to please.
I'm not everything you want,
I'm not the perfect girl,
unperfect me, unlovable me.

    Shit just know they're is someone out there that would love to suck on them thighs, and swap spit with them teeth so fuck him... On to the next sweeeety..... You know this reminds me of my favorite wild animal... The cheetah.. They say it's biggest imperfection is almost being perfect... Scholar

    Good sex makes up for a lot of nearsighted imperfections - from the male point of view. A two-way street to be sure.

    Some people don't appreciate what they have right under there nose sometimes... not a reflection of you always ;) That aside, I felt your message on this one ~Ash

    Thank you. This was written right after something that happened to kind of crush my self-esteem.
