Inperfections

Always keep an 
open mind, 
to respect 
the differences 
which make us all 
unique inside. 

Why judge if 
anger and bitterness 
are the emotions 
that even your own heart 
cannot justify? 

Listen to yourself, 
to both your enemies 
as well as your friends; 
empathy and sensitivity 
gifts to share 
amongst all of humanity. 

We all need to be loved, 
to be understood; 
our weaknesses, 
there to be embraced, 
to be shared, accepted, 
our only saving grace. 

Without them 
wouldn't we all be perfect?
