Perfect

Perfect as you are

Even with flaws

That formed in the crucible of life

And your struggle to survive

Diamond in the rough

Forged under pressure

Using the hurting place as gift

Even as the more fearful part of you

Tries to run

Even if you come undone

What is making the pieces fall apart

Are you not a piece of art

Are you not at every moment

Giving birth to parts of self

There is no way you can climb

By allowing the force of your mind

To drag you down those endless

Vortex

Rabbit holes

There is a way to be kind

Er

Open your heart to everything

Let it in

Even as it tears your flesh from skin

Feel yourself becoming more

Of what you always sensed

Deep inside your soul

You always were

Perfect
