Looking through
From an old Picture Perfect theme…

if you could look
through my skin
into my mind
into my soul
through my skin
into my mind
into my soul
what would you see
would you see
the flaws
that catch
the light
the flaws
that catch
the light
would you see
the stains
that make
odd patterns
the stains
that make
odd patterns
would you see
the damage
the years
have wrought
the damage
the years
have wrought
would you see
the whole
and choose
me anyway
the whole
and choose
me anyway
because i’m different

The Picture Perfect theme for the week was “Looking through“. The photo is of my crystal. When I went crystal shopping, I heard words like ‘flawless’, ‘perfect’, ‘unmarred’, ‘not dirty’. I found crystals that matched those words, but didn’t like them. I ended up buying a crystal that was like me…. a crystal that was flawed, but carried a flame in its heart.
