Flaws and Gnaws

Expecting a flood of love letters
as scribbling on a sheet of rosewater
the fragrance crushed earthy scent
a thornless moonlight rose
an aesthetic storm is brewing
beyond spiritual vitality flows.

Breaking down obstacles
It's because I don't fit into stereotypes
I intend to be myself on this journey
I'm not unique but I'm lacking wisdom,
Yes, I am a free spirit and a bold mind.

Indeed, I am eccentric and disorderly
I'm just rusty and dusty
I may fall, but I will always rise
If you talk easily, I laugh bitterly
I wish to be "me," despite my flaws.

We have our shortcomings and plus points. Accepting our follies is humility and the efforts to rectify them is divinity. However we have to accept our individuality and develop a self love by being ourselves! Sagacious thoughts, dear friend!

Knowing that one does not know is a sign of wisdom. The worst thing is one to think that he knows at the moment he does not. Yes, accepting oneself is the first step toward building a good character! Good work, my friend, Lasaad! Be blessed.
