Imperfection Shines

When I look in the mirror and I see things I want to change
I cry and draw and write and try to make me rearrange

Though nothing ever happens, I know this all too well

Sometimes I wish I could just put me under a beauty spell

 

This was until I realized, when I woke up one Sunday morning

That if I was that beautiful, well, I would just be boring

So instead of thinking of all the things that you know are not perfect

Take a moment to reassess if it is really worth it

 

Nothing in this world is perfect, though some seem to be at times

Just remember in your heart of hearts that they too, have committed crimes

The most breathtaking person in this world has the ability to realize

That he or she may not be perfect in everybody's eyes

    Nothing should ever be perfect that is not a natural state to be in.

    Excellent poem and well deserved Silver trophy.

    This is the absolute truth. No one looks at someone/something
    in the same way others do. You have expressed that well.
    Congratulations on winning the Silver trophy.

    Wow...this poem speaks a truth that we all fail to realize in our lives. Imperfection really does shine in so many ways and it's all up to the person who looks upon it Great write
