My impurities, my imperfections

Just a little rant of mine. A good friend that is a guy said all of these to me.

 

He told me I was beautiful

Beautiful?

My midnight hair

My obsidian eyes

My dark skin

My imperfect body

Could I be beautiful?

 

He told me I was smart

Smart?

My stupid mistakes

My bad grades

My slow learning

My troubled incomprehension

Could I be smart?

 

He told me I was funny

Funny?

My outrageous comments

My sarcastic words

My childish actions

My unusual movements

Could I be funny?

 

He told me I was kind

Kind?

My hateful thoughts

My raging attitudes

My degrading words

My unforgivable actions

Could I be kind?

 

He said he loved me

Love me?

My wrong words

My sinful actions

My cruel thoughts

My imperfect…me?

Could I be loved?

With these impurities,

These imperfections?

Author's Note

Was it too overboard? Any suggestions?

I believe a little over board may be the point here; it's what makes the statements work.
Obviously the things that are "wrong" are what make the persona smart, funny, beautiful, etc.
Now, if only her friend can get her to believe.... :) After all, there are a million ways to be beautiful or smart, or funny....
