Perception

Beauty is a matter of perception,
And we lack the visual empathy to truly distinguish how 
It cleaves those who failed to be perfection
In the eyes of beauty, 
Equated to perfection and its perfectionist
I say a masterpiece is worth
More when it’s flawed,
Flawed as is the word when, it’s flawless.
