Flaws Poems

In love with your flaws

I fell in love with your flaws
You don’t have to be perfect for me
All I want is for you to show me you love me
I don’t care if everyone is against you 
Baby I got you
Don’t be perfect for me
Just grow with me and show me loyalty 
I just want to be all you need

My soul was killing my flaws

I look at my soul killing its flaws. I appreciate it and let it do so. But when I came back to earth to show them a perfect human, I realized my mistakes made me who I am. Without my flaws, I am just a perfect human—but not me.

Legal Eagles

'Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! all stand,' 
said the bailiff before remand,
as legal eagles had looked for loopholes,
flaws in the law,
large enough to lose a lorry,
is that what they became lawyers for?
If I had taken their advice,
blindly handed out to me,
I'd have gone directly to jail,
if not in a trice.
Attorneys, barristers, solicitors,
ambulance chasers,
searching for victims
so they may

Muse

In the mirror I see, framed like a painting
a woman caught between 
the plain in yesterday
and the pointy yellow leaves
leaving for tomorrow—
She chases the leaves, not realizing
she never left the field

When sparrows stop chirping
and her steps can no longer keep up
the leaves she caught remind her:
this tale only ends
in the aftermath of a birdsong

She's the

Flaws

I know making you less perfect
won’t make me any better
yet I can’t help it
I fabricate your flaws in my head 
as if it would make my own disappear 
almost as if ruining you 
made me any better
…
almost as if making you imperfect
made me as perfect as you

—maybe I should learn to love my flaws instead of obsessing

FAMILY MATTER

We keep,
Working on ourselves 
Trying to know
Our dark sides 
Correcting 
Each other's flaws without discrimination.

Sometimes 
We fight 
When she's hurt
I am too
She's angry 
I am as well 
But we always find serenity 
Within us after every fight, bring the light.

This kind love
Keeps be alive 
My mother,
A one of a kind
A blessing from above 
Never to

Flawed Perfection

Flawed Perfection


In the dark corners of her smile,  
I find a fire that cuts through miles,  
Of shattered dreams and whispered pain,  
Where only truth can break the chain.  

Her imperfections, they sing to me,  
A perfect flaw, a mystery,  
In every scar, a deeper grace,  
Her beauty

I choose you

Of all the reasons why I love you 
Perfect is not one of them
My flaws that you accept so well ,maybe?
No thats not why I love you not at all.
My habits that annoy you sometimes and you still tell me you love me anyway, hmm hmm that's not it either.
I love you because even though

Premium MemberEmbracing the Storm

I am the storm that lost its own rhythm,
laughter flaring, then burning to silence.
Your imperfections swagger,
and scars that tell unerasable stories.

Some days I am a solid stream, unbendable,
other days, a forest fire — wild, unrelenting.
I falter, I burn too bright,
but each autumn leaves a truth inside me.

If you read me in bits and pieces, raw

Career Woman's Flaws

Career woman is practical
I might as well speak
Frankly and sincerely
Talk about the career plan
Your ideal type, your favorite
And your sports
No more beating around the bush
If you want I could talk about you
Girls like you think of nothing
But find a rich, handsome boyfriend
For your vanity's sake
In the spare time, he will take you
For the spring flowers
And

Judged

Judged

1.
They are all liars,
Talking about others
Behind their backs,
Thinking they are better.

2.
But everyone has
Their own faults.
They don’t see
The pain a person hides,
Just because they’re smiling.

3.
A day will come,
A day when they are judged
For all the things
They have done.

4.
All I feel for them is pity—
Pity for the words
They’ve spoken,
For the things
They’ve done.

5.
Everyone has
Their own flaws,
Yet they still

Blood Sword

A pen who never bleeds blue nor black
As the changing shades of a clear night sky;
Bleeds blood, ever deep red
As a sword who fought million battles.
He never reveals his tale
But it is to be remembered 
And will be remembered.

He sets aright others' lives
Make corrections, make amends.
Unlike his kin, with a white skin
The correction pen, bleeding

Be Kind to Yourself

Sometimes life can be so tough,
But often, we're our own worst bluff.
Remember, life will carry on,
Through every dusk and every dawn.
Embrace your flaws, don’t be afraid,
Stay positive, don’t let joy fade.
Things will fall into their place,
So find your calm, embrace your space.
Let’s be gentle and treat ourselves right,
With love and kindness, we’ll shine bright.
For when

Looking Back, I’m Ashamed

Looking back, I’m ashamed of what I was,
A mirror shows the choices I regret.
In shadows of the past, I see my flaws,
Yet wisdom’s light has guided me, I bet.

I wandered lost, each step a trial’s cost,
With every wrong turn, pain would carve its mark.
Yet from the struggle, lessons were embossed,
And in each failure, hope would
