Much like a small pearl
Refined by the ocean's waves,
Her flaws were heaven.

I think all my problems in life stem from my greatest flaw -
Lack of self-control...
-just being honest

Have you ever looked into a mirror?
Of course you have, we all have at some point; but have you ever really looked, deep inside?
Like a vortex it will **** you in and you will become committed to picking out each flaw of yourself, as if you were to blow away the delicate petals of a dandelion; one at a time.
Honestly and truthfully, do not lie, we would all like to be cynical and selfish, to love ourselves would be one of the greatest pleasures,
but mirrors;
they are hazardous, distorting our true image until we no longer have anything left to pick out.
Yet we still insist on persecuting ourselves?
Maybe it is we who distort our own image.
I wrote this whilst every so often looking up into a mirror, examining myself and my soul until I was content with this piece of writing.

A crack on the ceiling.
A line; far from deep.
Its cross-section layered,
Its existence discrete.
Unassuming and simple
in a room bright and plush.
Its existence is futile,
for its fate is the brush.
A restoration of beauty;
appeasing the strain.
Layering and patching
again and again.
As long as the eye
knows not that its weakened,
The flaw will endure,
now perpetual and deepened.
Its a crack on the surface
a line; far from deep.
Take heed of its presence;
but mend whats beneath.

Bound by flaws and imperfections that are impossible to escape
Entrapped by thoughts both good and bad yet more often worse
Coated by hope through cracks life had made

There is one time
a discovery hit me
like sunshine

It was as clear as day
when there was no way
it could easily by me, sway

My posture straightened
and my senses heightened
"why didn't I do this before?"
Oh, because I always saw it as a chore

But what defines a task
when all you've done was remove the cast
that was rotting your insides
piece by piece watching your aura subside

When all you had to do
was give your routine a cocktail shake
by being as unique as a snowflake

By posing those thoughts
naked and raw
with all their flaws

It's just as simple as the verb "be"
with all its complexities
making it even more

"My flaws are here, here, here, here, here..." I went on and on, jabbing my finger aimlessly on his body. He looked so sad, then I took a deep breath and whispered, "and here," laying my hand on his chest and continued, "because you fell in love with me," I looked at him dead straight in the eyes, hoping he'll understand that I will never stay his.
Nothing stays nor lasts forever and I, certainly don't.

"How about you? I feel like you're my flaw," he managed to choke out. I hugged him one last time and sighed, "I'm afraid I'm everyone else's." And pressed my lips against his tear-stained cheeks. He took my hand and held it in both, "but we all learn to love our flaws in the end, right? I love you, I love you, I love you —," I cut him off.

"And I'm still learning how to love you back"
Not a poem.

Is it wrong to not fear death?
Am I wrong to not have the same belief as others?
I don't discriminate unless you push me to the point of showing you your own flaws.

They say the truth is ugly.
They say it hurts.
I see it as the only way to actually face reality.

a lot changed since your seventeenth birthday
when you received a brighter smile as a present
after bearing a void for a couple of years

it was a rebound
you jumped back at life
brighter than you ever were

a lot changed since your seventeenth birthday
when you received a fix for your flaws
after being incomplete for a couple of years

but you were more divine
with your inch-long flaw
and i was so in love
with your humble divinity

Come…
Come taste
my dark side
come feel
the raw
my flaw
uneven
conceiving


i’m revealing
my secret
I don’t fear
you are near
i can hear
you
the breath
you take
i cannot fade
It is me
real
come feel
me
i got
nothing to hide
