Embracing Flaws
A poem to embrace our flaws
In the mirror, reflections blend,
With cracks and curves that never mend,
A portrait of imperfection true,
And beauty found in every hue.
Scars and lines that tell a tale,
Of battles fought and times we fail,
Each flaw, a chapter in our book,
A closer look is all it took.
For in the fractured, there’s a light,
That shines more bright in darkest night,
Uniqueness grows where flaws reside,
A canvas painted with our pride.
Embrace the quirks, the dents, the scars,
For in them lies who we are,
A masterpiece, in fractured form,
Weathered well by life's storm.
So lift your head, and wear with grace,
The marks that time cannot erase,
For perfect lies in just one truth,
Our flaws are proof of life's own youth.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

We just have to learn to accept things as they are and happen. Good job.
It is true-flaws make us who we are. This is a really nicely done piece. Reminds me a bit of John Legend's lyrics in All of Me
Now if only people didn't point them out mockingly or just left them alone to begin with.
