I want you to see me
flawless, perfect, unblemished
To show the very best
that I know I have inside
And yet...
You find me in my mistakes
dirty, scarred, uncharitable
And the surprise is
You love me for those things
The miracle in being
That those things I wish most to hide
Are the endearments that draw you
And cause you to be perfect in my eyes
