Flawless ImperfectionistA Poem by Vincent MakhathiniNo one is flawless!
Words mean a lot, though miss used a lot
And so I thought why not, type-out my thoughts At the age of twenty, I fought a lot and I lost Submitted to reality, thanks to life for this munity I quarrel with this world to find my golden state, but Even in the golden age, this imperfect being still remains Yes I grow with age, learn from my mistakes Expelling all the weeds, growing and suffocating this angelic Creation So when I wake-up, stare at mirror, moisture my skin with perfumed lotion With the attempt to adorn this temple... Close to Goodness yet far from purity at times I may be white, till my robe is painted with mud I'm only human, and yes I fall, but get back up This life is rough, behind the smiles and all the love Remain deep scars, this life is tough, but I still laugh Endure the harsh times, and all the storms If I be iron this structure would be corroded Filled with rust, and all the dust burying, who I really am All my imperfections, lust lack of trust, sometimes lack of love, and all the scars can taint my soul Flawless Imperfectionist © 2015 Vincent Makhathini |
