scalpel! 
gently saw at the sides of the face
let it fall apart at the seams 
now, put it up against yours
does it fit? is it a perfect match? 

it feels cold, unwelcoming
the eyebrows are far too thick
the nose is far too big
i hate it
it is not a perfect fit. 

scalpel! 
gently saw at the sides of the face
let it fall apart at the seams 
now, put it up against yours
does it fit? is it a perfect match? 

it burns with uncertainty
the eyebrows are far too thin
the nose is far too small
i hate it
it is not a perfect fit.

how dare you be indecisive!
you bare no features! 
only the blank canvas of a boundless oblivion
we gave you a wick! 
we gave you paint! 

i hate them
they are not a perfect fit.

So very interesting! Well done! I think if it is up to us, indeed a blank canvas, no features; we compare to others, whether a face, art, poetry, etc… We must rely on our Creator or be willing to create ourselves imperfectly…what do we know of perfection? Don’t we all find fault?! Hugs
