You are not perfect just the way you are
You are a piece of art in the world of perfectly imperfect souls
When someone criticizes you
The way you look, act, the clothes you wear or the color of your skin
Realize that in their perfectly imperfect mind
This is what they are feeling about themselves
Know that the great power that is our collective souls
Gives you the road map for your life
Each and every day
It is up to you
As a perfectly imperfect soul
To recognize the moments
To listen to your heart
Your gut
Your soul voice
For this is how
You travel on the road to ultimate perfection
Witnessing a person with a warm smile
And feeling the love
and peace that emanates from their very core
you understand that it is entirely possible
to transcend the imperfection
and become content and whole
in your perfectly imperfect self.
