Picture Perfect Imperfection

You know that person that you see? On the outside I may seem all together, worry and care free, but when I face the mirror I see all my insecurities.
That fragile like child
That innocence within.
That indecisive, sometimes naive human being.

The picture perfect imperfection
On the outside, I'm strong and fearless
My head held high
A confidence in my stride
But when the doors are shut
I shed my super woman layers
To unveil my vulnerability
That is me..

The picture perfect imperfection
On the outside, things may seem my life is peachy king
The brightest smile during a stormy weather
The strongest beam in a crumbling foundation
And when everyone's situation has gone back to a norm
Behind dark blinds
I fall to my knees
Shoulders bruised from all the burdens carried
Tears held back began flowing
Because my soul needs cleansing

Then when I'm done and I look at my reflection
I smile because I see..
A picture perfect imperfection that is me...
