Frameless picture

Frameless picture

A Story by Y.F.
"

Don't ask me what it's about, ask yourselves.

Frameless picture hanging on the wall.

Where the frame is? I don’t know.

Do you?

Do you mind that frameless picture?

Is it less of a picture without a frame?

Or maybe that’s what makes it such a beautiful picture?

Could flaws create perfection?

If you can call something perfect, they must.

How can a definition of something which doesn’t exist exist on its own?

I don’t believe it can.

Therefore, something must be perfect, and since we’re all flawed, as well as everything around us, flaws must create perfection under certain circumstances.

 

I don’t claim the picture is perfect.

It’s nice to look at, that’s all.

No frame could ever change that.

 

I wish I could be as frameless as the picture.

It won’t make me perfect, but maybe get me a step closer.

Is that really what I want – perfection?

In whose eyes?

Friends, family, myself?

They all noticed the frameless picture.

They all noticed that flaw.

They all minded the flaw in some way, whether they acknowledged it or not.

 

But the picture doesn’t mind.

It just hangs there, frameless.

I will never frame it.

I swear, you keep...gah! Stop it! This one though, made me think of me in a way. He's told me many times that I'm me; that he loves me for me. And that no matter what I am on the outside, all it is is a shell for what's on the inside; what he loves. So damn you for keeping him on my brain. I'm supposed to be avoiding thinking of him, not embracing it lol. Yet another great write.

It seems to be a little bit of a food for thought type of write about perfection. Although someone may say something is perfect - nothing is perfect - it just exists.

Thats at least what I got from it. who knows lol
