Flaws

Flaws I sleep like a prisoner, in my own dreams. I wake up to the flaws of reality. I meditate to this world I hate. I live a life no one will ever appreciate. Everything changed since the day I took my first step. Flaws in the pride I demonstrate. Flaws is the only way we relate. Flaws found in every open door. My tears fall into the flaws of the cracked floor. Flaws grow deeper when feelings are involved. Watching the world as we flawlessly destroy it. Accepting bad perception that nothing is forever. Injecting chemicals that flow through my brain. Spreading negative flaws that swim in my vain. Love is a flaw that drives one insane. Hate is the medicine that covers up pain. Flaws! Flaws can only be covered up like a stain. Flaws! Flaws! Under Gods eyes. Flaws! Flaws! No need to cry. Flaws! Flaws! Mistakes and goodbyes. Flaws! Flaws! Lived out till the day we die by;p.d.

Linda What a deep and powerful write. Full of emotion and feeling. You description and imagery allows the reader to be pulled into your heart and discover that no one is perfect and we all have flaws to work on. Nice job Thanks for the placement in your contest. I am flattered. Hugs

Flaws' and what could we have done? Flaws' are of creation and contemporary only to the times' for which they manifest themselves! A the Snail would say, take it with a grain of salt! What is good for you might not be good for me> I will subsitute a good rhym for all the flaws' in time. Keep the write up, up! Your friend in the pen/G.FIELDS

A sober read. We are all flawed. To err is to be human. I am not proud of my flaws, but they help make up who and what I am. As long as we try not to hurt others I think we should learn to accept that we are flawed. Regards, Robert.

Yep! The world is no place for perfection. One will always suffer hell if he/she is a perfectionist. The other day three guys without a flaw were talking, and I said to the other two.....Just a joke to get you out of your rut. Love, Dave

as always you've created another great write! thank you for checkin out and commenting on my poem. I'm sorry my poetry sometimes leaves you feeling sad although that is the truth of our world and within that truth is the chance to be enlightened. thank you also for not refferring to it as "depressing" haha as that would be more of a reflection on me which in turn is deffinately not the case!

There is no flaw on the one who's kindness shines with each comment, with each friendly word. She leaves behind her word, but along with that, she leaves the world a better place, simply by being the big heart that she is. :) This painful poem is not who I see in the beauty you are! ........

In judging, the flaws of life your estimates are mind blowing. Your poem reflects some very deep feelings and reactions, but the way you have sketched this tricky word is outstanding my friend and thank you for your precious comments on my blog. Folk songs can offer you a wide range of local themes and I am quite hopeful that this new theme would provide you ample scope to use your real talents. Love and best wishes....Ravindra....Poet D.

You see this, the above tearfilled verse is the result of zealots teaching the "bull****" of original sin. Don't you believe it honey!!! NO everything has a beauty, a reason for being, even things man has deemed "bad" they create there opposite, what we we see of know of as "good" if there was no contrast! Please don't be so upset! Light & Love
