Lovely
May 10, 2013
One flaw.
One-thousand flaws,
carelessly thrown
into our intricate coils of DNA.
Mistakes make
our lives
lovely.
They are
what
make
us strong.
You are your
flaws.
You are the
wrinkles in
your smile,
you are the
dimples in your
cheeks. You are
the sunlight
in your eyes,
and you are
the curves
on your hips.
What is beautiful,
about
wanting
to be
beautiful?
Long to be
great,
or
patient.
Strive for your
heart
to grow.
And that
is what will
make you
ultimately
beautiful.
