Imperfection

Blemishes I see upon my body Destroying my own temple Could it be that simple Damned to dream and not sleep As so it seem and soon I will reap From my own hands the cuts Showing the pain in my soul Tarnished it would be if it was up to me Unable to separate from what you see My mind waiting for the day I could leave as me All my flaws already known and shown Could this be green with envy Head down with nothing to say No ones perfect Imperfection he seeks the down and out He would show peace

great poem - I'm not sure of the meaning but I hope that writing it lifted some of that burden.

no one is perfect is the honest truth....we need only look in the mirror to find proof....but we have to look beyond the flesh to understand the heart....and once we recognize our flaws, we become better works of God's Art....;)

I know this is true but...I am always so blue. Trying to figure out me.
