roses have thorns
and yet
we still
find a way
to call them
beautiful
;
i’m trying to
figure out
why we still
call ourselves
broken

The beautiful, who hurts and the loving, whose heart is broken. A wonderful poetry and once again the proof that outward appearances are not decisive. Do not seek a beautiful body but a loving soul.Thank you for your smart Thoughts!

Why can’t we accept that sometimes we have pain, like everyone else, to accept our flaws when they don’t define us, but can teach us and help us become.

Yes. Exactly. We often don’t take our ‘flaws’ as part of our being when imperfections are their own form beauty.
