I am no longer ashamed of the moles sprouting from my skin, the freckles decorating my face, or the pink hues illuminating my face

I am no longer ashamed of the small hairs blanketing my belly button, my childish hands,or my petite elf ears

I am no longer ashamed of my almost translucent skin, my undefined eyebrows, the extra meat on my bones, or the irritating gap between my teeth that you seem to love so much

All because you appreciated every flaw, showing me a purely blank canvas...

Is no work of art

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece because I have met a human being who enjoys and loves every little bit of me inside, and out.
