beauty

So, I have another poem. And, seriously, tell me what you think. Comments and criticism are always wicked awesome, no matter who they're from or what they say. <3


***

ugly, they call, like a
plague.

they say,
those streets, so littered so dirty so dark.

that house, crumpled in on itself,
such an eyesore
someone needs to fix it.
get rid of it.

that person,
so misshapen, so fat
look how wrong
it is.
eyes not big enough arms not small enough
just not good enough.

they don’t know that anything
that everything
everyone
that ever witnessed the blink of a smile or
held away broken tears
is beautiful.

and your flaws are
perfect.
