You're broken
and that's beautiful

you're not a picture
perfect example
of a flawless human being
or a mere directory of
what makes one, you're
not a recipe of perfection
or some masterpiece or
representation of the
perfect human in the face
of humanity

you're a mosaic of broken
pieces of tiles that create
the perfect artwork,
the polychromatic arch in the
sky that forms after a
fierce storm passes
you're the flame burning within
an inferno of a
post traumatic aftermath
that winter wind
blowing through the gashes
of that nearby ventilation shaft

you're made by bits and scrapes
of imperfection
you are the ugly truth
you don't need to try and be perfect
or enough for anybody
perfection can only dream of being you

you are
a beautiful mess
broken and that's what makes you beautiful
