To each his own
To each is own
What does that mean?
I am seeking to find the identity in me.
Everytime I look in the mirror
I see what I truly can be
But my reflection wants me to flee
These flaws have become claws
Tearing at my soul
Two sides of me can no longer belong
Which way do I go says my brain
Then my heart tells me to be brave
Please show me Peace
Please show me Love
If only I can see what is to come
I have this desire for Everyone

Our flaws and imperfections is definitely necessary for the growth of our souls and hearts and minds for without understanding there is no connectivity to who we are destine to be through our eyes for you are a precious gift whether you see it or believe it for it is not what you see in the mirror it is what you think of thyself unselfishly for what is it that you truly deserve as you know your self value and self worth respect dear poetess

The confusion when deciding to follow either the heart or go with what's inside your head
The decisions are not always easy to make
As for the future nobody knows what it has in store for us
The ideal of peace and love is what most of us hope and live for

Such a relatable and beautifully sad and troubling write. You are beautiful! And our flaws make us unique and they should be embraced. Learning to love ourselves is a challenging endeavor but when we quiet our inner critics( self and internalized others) that’s where we find peace....

We all have our own ideas of who want to be, so follow your heart and be who you want to be.

Paths are often winding and direction very rarely signposted. I think if you truly follow your heart and instinct you cant go far wrong. Seeing imperfections in your own self is difficult but dealing and living with them is harder
Good job loved it
