Flaws
flaws make us
and –
the search for perfection –
it breaks us
our dreams –
only ever take us
flaws are to be adored
perfection,
is but a costly whore
the search for perfection –
leaves me bored
after all –
you can be beautifully flawed
flaws make us
the insecure hate us
and our dreams –
only ever take us
James Garratt – Friday 26th August 2005
