"Create a poem that highlights the beauty in being flawed."

_________________________________

Perfection is an illusion,
A scintillating mirage
Nothing gained from chasing it,
Everything lost by pursuing it.

Flaws on the other hand,
Are cut facets of the diamond soul,
Turning light on itself by breaking it,
They reflect the hues of a rainbow.

Faults are the cracks in darkness,
From which the light of your heart shines,
It is a beacon, a ray of hope,
That illuminates the path ahead.

Imperfections are not only acceptable,
The are the markers of your identity,
They render you different and unique,
So embrace your flaws, they define you,
