FLAWS

Flaws, aren't they beautiful!

They define us.

From who we were to who we are now, and how we’ll turn out to be,

From the start to the middle and till the end,

From past to present to the future,

From our struggle till our success,

From the highs to the lows,

Right from the beginning till the end.

Scars and flaws they have this tendency of attracting everyones attention towards them, however they are and no matter how light or deep they are, we notice them first.

I realised that it’s not because it’s a spot on our unusually normal self

But it is because it has a story to tell.

Isn’t this weird?

Our eyes tell the story that our heart aches to be heard, And our fingers possess the story that our heart wants to show with every bit of it. 

Then we have our scars, printed on our skin and the stories behind them, imprinted on our souls.

How beautiful is it that our soul carries so much that our brain can’t actually remember.

Scars and flaws.

You don’t have to hide them, it’s like a step against the law of nature.

Don’t hide them,

Let them grow.

Grow with them, 

nourish them, 

preserve them and that means accept them in the broad day light,

let the bloom. 

Don’t let the demons inside you eat them in the dark. 

Instead fight your demons and Let the flowers of your journey bloom,

Let the smell of your struggle spread across the world

Let the smile of your achievements light up the world.

It’s disgusting to know that some of us are ashamed of them,

And it’s a shame if we don’t give them one chance.

Even the almighty does that.

Then who are we to snatch it away from them.
