The Restoration of One’s Self by Ashley Opdyke

Look at those around you,

Look at yourself,

And think,

What do I choose to see?

Do I look for flaws?

All the imperfections?

All of the parts of people,

That are perceived and defined as the bad?

Or do I naturally find the parts of all of us,

That are perceived as good?

Think,

What do I want to see?

The good?

The bad?

Or everything in one,

Flaws,

Imperfections,

Grace,

Beauty,

Beautiful, beautiful flaws.

Perfection,

is the imperfection,

Perfection,

is the small things that aren’t noticeable,

The definition of perfection,

is not the definition of human,

Natural perfection.

Perfection is imperfect,

Imperfection is perfect.
