Today at dinner I asked of you

Something

Very simple.

I didn't want to pick up the dishes

But you

You wanted me to do just that.

I

Well I didn't.

So I told you no.

I went to get water and heard you

Talking

Talking about me.

My flaws.

I

I shouldn't be surprised

And I wasn't.

You said I didn't make you tea.

And I agreed

Because it's true.

You said I don't make my bed

And I agreed

Because it's true.

You said my mouth runs too much

And I agreed.

So I asked you to count them.

Count all of them.

Make a list.

You said you'd run out of

Ink

Before you were

Done

With my

Flaws.

And then you said make one yourself.

So I will

But just.

I hope you know

You

Win.

I was born flawed.

You were born perfect.

And I guess

I will

Die

Flawed.

Sincerely Yours,

Flaws
