Yearning

Life… it's not always perfect.


Madness it is 

That the world holds beauty

Like it's the most precious thing. 


There's damage,

And struggles,

Marks,

And scars.


You yearn to be better,

At what cost?


In the end,

Those imperfections make you.

Hidden treasures lie in your uneven edges,

To your tired eyes and to distressed skin,

Stretch marks and scars…


You are life.
