Perfectly Imperfect Perfections

To avoid certain judgements
when I want to vent...
I paint and I draw
I play pretend...

I read a good book.
I sing and I write...
short stories and poems
like this one tonight...

I cry when alone.
I whisper to myself...
I try to stay calm
until these feelings melt...

I'd sometimes take naps
Or watch movies til morning...
Or my favorite cartoon series
Like Steven Universe or MLP...

I'd sometimes ride a bike
Or run around the subdivision...
Do some skipping rope
or jump around for distraction...

I'd take a cold shower
as if it is raining...
I'd stand by the open fridge
and imagine it's snowing...

I'd lay on the field
and look at the clouds shaping...
Or stare at the stars
until I start dreaming...

I'd think of possibilities,
ways to cope with my sadness
before I start to break
and fall into madness...

As long as I can do
these many different things...
these tears will dry up
And I'll soon be smiling...

A feeling is a feeling
some can't control or expect...
We're humans. We have emotions.
We can't always be our best...

We all have our downsides
Our flaws and imperfections...
that make us who we are --
Perfectly imperfect perfections...
