Analysis of Blemished
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Your faults but blemish your perfect body
Steering you inward to love everybody
To fault oneself more than others you see
But you are still as perfect as before to me
Though we all have faults we are made to be seen
Wherever you go; whomever has been
Whatever you look like you deserve to feel free
From the restraints that tie us to inequity
