roses

Posted on September 25, 2017June 24, 2018 by Biko

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.
