Beauty Marks
Humans
Are
Made
Already
With
Errors
And the moment we change the definition of ERROR
is the moment we can finally LIVE
The moment
We can finally BREATHE
The moment
We can look out into the world and say
“WHY NOT?”
The moment
We can stop thinking everything has to be
“RIGHT” to be RIGHT
Realize we’re all just a bunch of
Loose Screws
That being in LOVE
Isn’t the only way to be HAPPY
Stop thinking
Everything has to be ATTRACTIVE
To be BEAUTIFUL
Believe that WRONG
doesn’t mean it’s not RIGHT
Replace the word NORMAL with the word NO ONE
And the word PERFECT with the word INSANE
AND REALIZE
that maybe it’s okay to be:
· A FREAK
· INSECURE
· A FIRM BELIEVER THAT A PICTURE OF A CAT SAYING “Everything is going to be alright!” IS NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT.
to believe that it’s okay
to cry
and feel weak
AS LONG AS ONCE WE’RE DONE
WE GET UP
AND DUST OURSELVES OFF
We look to challenges as if they stand
AS MOUNTAINS
and look back at accomplishments
that seem like ant hills
AND WE ALL STARE AT THE CEILING AT NIGHT LOOKING FOR THE ANWSERS
GOD DARE NOT SPEAK OF
and what do we have left?
a few short answers
made of duct tape
and safety pins
and like us,
barely holding itself together?
On your good days you tell yourself others have it worse
and on your bad days
it doesn’t matter
because it still hurts.
AND AS WE SHOUT AND WE SCREAM AND WE YELL
WE RELEASE OURSELVES
FROM THE CHAINS
WE BIND OURSELVES
IN.
To know that it’s okay:
· To cry
· To have questions
· To feel like you just want to FALL OFF A CLIFF
BECAUSE LIFE SUCKS
BUT BEING ALIVE DOESN’T MEAN YOU'RE LIVING
IT’S BEING WILLING TO RISK THE BURDEN OF LIFE
JUST FOR THOSE SPECIAL OCCASIONS
THOSE:
· JOKES THAT MAKE YOU LAUGH UNTIL YOU CRY
· PEOPLE THAT (you might not truly believe) CARE ABOUT YOU
· SMILES BROUGHT BY NO REASON AT ALL
BECAUSE YEAH,
EVERYONE AGREES LIFE CAN BE CRAP
BUT THE MOMENT
YOU REALIZE LIFE ISN’T ALWAYS CRAP
Is the moment you realize all of the beautiful moments you’ve taken for granted.
that is the moment you realize
THAT
HUMANS
ARE
MADE
ALREADY
WITH
ERRORS
BUT
WE
SHOULDN’T
WEAR
THEM
AS
SCARS
but rather,
beauty marks.
