Flaws

What is
right
from
wrong?

What is
darkness
from
light?

What is
chaos
from
peace?

What is
creation
from
destruction?

What is
illusion
from
reality?

Is it something we cannot control?
Or is it something
That we
have built
within our minds?

A barrier
colored in shades
of black and white
neutralized by the grey between

And if it is
Can we break that barrier?
Can we control
the uncontrollable

Or are our flaws
meant to forever scar our skins
our minds
and leave dents
and poison
where it was ever so easy to breathe before?

What is
perfection
without
flaws?

What are
flaws
without
perfection?

Nothing.

Perfection
are our goals
it is everything to us
but flaws
come
with everything

Flaws are everywhere
in the walls you just build
in the garden you just planted
in the masterpiece you just painted

Flaws are everywhere
in the words you just said
in the thoughts that just crossed your restless mind
in the movement you just made

Flaws are everywhere
in the makeup you put on
in the clothes you wear
in the way you fix your hair

But they are only
there
if you allow yourself to see them

They are only
here
if you allow yourself to them

They are only
within you
around you
if you allow them
to tear you down

Because you are perfect
Every flaw is meant to be there
You are perfect
because you can build yourself back up
You are perfect
because you are comfortable in the clothes you wear
in the way you fix your hair
You are perfect
because everything around you
is beautiful
you
are beautiful

Because perfection without flaws
and flaws without perfection
is nothing
They are useless
without one another

They are like yin and yang
There cannot be one
Unless the equal is present

So you
are perfect
even with
your flaws.
