The ideal image of success-

all contained into one perfect being.

She’s seamless.


Like the peacock’s tail,

her legacy is known to all.

She’s seamless


She can withstand the heaviest of rains,

most brutal winter storms, and the hottest summer waves.

she’s seamless


But under the fool proof design,

repetitive stress outweigh her talents-

hiding her stitches one by one.

She seems seamless.

She can withstand the heaviest of rains,

most brutal winter storms, and the hottest summer waves.

she’s seamless


But under the fool proof design,

repetitive stress outweigh her talent, hiding her stiches throughout

She seems seamless.

This poem is to encourage people to realize that even the most flawless of people have mistakes and troubles of their own. It's the our faults that create the foundation of who we are and what we present.
