All are dealt unlike hands and to play life's game
Why should I be judged for every fault and flaw
Flaws make me beautiful I'm human like you
Now people have worsen making hating cool
Time from my childhood was stolen from my life
I only want to find my own way in peace
I hate you perfection It's used way too much
It's also expected from everyone here
My love for words and myth burns bright in my soul
I have lied I have judged I make mistakes so
Why condemn me because I am honest look
I've got my share of chips and cracks on my skin
Don't make me some target on media's wall
I'm alive Living art now broken and scared
But God sees and for all I have done He
will deal with me in time The way He sees fit
These Lanterns my lanterns will adorn the sky
With my truth I am fraught with flaws and I'm proud
Now lanterns take a piece of my heart and burn
Rise to the endless sky and take my soul home
These Lanterns poem are really close to home... Consider them like a continuation of my poem 'Naturally'. I can't act like I'm perfect all the time. Needless to say that society's obsession with perfection has worsened. It feels like an image one will forever to forced to strive for but never reach. To be honest, being perfect all the time only makes people more excited for your fall from grace. What I mean by people 'making hating cool' is that people enjoy jumping on the hate bandwagon when someone (e.g. a celebrity) does something they don't like, says something they don't like, or makes a mistake. In most cases, it's unnecessary. It's sad it happens...
The divine light that these lanterns have comes from a really emotional and insecure place in my heart. A treasure that I want you to see. I'm young, I've made my share of mistakes. Who hasn't? I've got a past. But I shouldnt be pressure to feel guilt for ******* up in life sometimes. These words are from a 22 (23 tomorrow) year old who even though she acts like shes got it all covered, she's terrified of life as a whole. Fraught with her own personal issues and demons. But I'm still here for a reason. There have been days where I wanted to end it all but I didn't. Because deep down, I know. I couldn't deny myself a chance in life. A chance to finally have some stability and to be happy. A chance to truly find myself and embrace who I am. Something that I'm honestly still learning to do. I hope people here who are going through this understand where I'm coming from.
I'm me, Lyn Purcell and there's nowhere and nothing I'd rather be. Thanks so much for 88 followers. For me it's insane! No words can express how I feel but you have my gratitude! Really!
More Lanterns are coming as well as Sijos. So, have a lovely day/night and be back soon! Lyn ***
