Hour 1<\/p>\n
Flawless Imperfection<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She worried about her shortcomings<\/p>\n
It kept her up at night and often interrupted her day to day<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What could she do to be, you know, better<\/p>\n
Take a class maybe or practice or seek help from others whose similar ideals shined far brighter than her lack luster luminous<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In her reflection, she could not help but think of the others, the stronger ones in her eyes, those who seemingly had it together, had it all<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So she watched them, listened to them<\/p>\n
The more she studied, the deeper she looked, she would come to find something unexpected, something less than stellar<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did a mere blemish make THEM imperfect<\/p>\n
Or did it add a uniqueness to their being<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Was this self doubt and constant scrutiny actually diminishing her glow<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Upon this awakening, she would swear an allegiance that her flawless imperfections would be enough<\/p>\n
