Imperfection

Can you see the stars?

The beauty of them

The loving little glow of their light

Do you sense the imperfection?

That is what makes them beautiful

People are like stars walking on our Earth

Only beautiful in their imperfection

Without that beauty, there would be no sight worth seeing

So why tear down the imperfection?

Why tear down that beauty?

Beauty is rough, and raw

The beauty in people

The beauty in the stars

All because of unique imperfections

So what is beauty?

Beauty is imperfection

I love the optimism here. Nice poem :)

Thanks. :) I was in a rare optimistic mood at the time.

This is a concept that you have rarely touched base with as to what your thoughts are. Now that I see your opinion I feel that maybe there is a touch of light in that dark spot that is your mind (teasing of course :]) I agree with your opinion on what beauty is. The reason people tear it down is because they are afraid of beauty (in most cases at least). After reading this piece I feel like I can see the gears in your head turning. Nice write.

^I have realized that my brain turned that into a scattered mess. Just bear with me Maddy. There is some logic to my madness. Just don't try to have the sentences make sense together XD

I think I have found the meaning to your jumble of words :) Interesting idea on the reasoning. I believe it may also be because they don't share that view on beauty. They see beauty as perfection. This makes beauty unattainable. Perfection cannot truly exist, therefore with the rational that beauty is perfection, beauty cannot exist. That is one reason I strongly disagree with that opinion. Moving on to where you say you can see the gears turning in my head, that is great to hear but also a little frightening coming from you Dy :)
