NaPoWriMo Day 15: Flaunt your scars

by | Apr 15, 2022 | NaPoWriMo 2022 | 7 comments

The prompt given by Maureen is to write about something that you are not interested in.

I generally do not like when people refrain from talking about their failures and only show their side that’s flawless. I feel proud to say that I’m perfectly imperfect! So here goes the poem:

Poem Title: Flaunt your scars

Cracks, faults, inaccuracies, failure-

Why these words create an aura pessimistic

Aren’t these flaws a part of our being?

Don’t these make success worth celebrating?

–

To explore and grow, being the purpose of our being,

How can we grow if we don’t commit fallacies?

‘Perfection’, I believe, is akin to stagnation,

How can anything be perfect, if it’s constantly evolving?

–

So keep perusing your dreams,

And make best of your offerings,

There might be a few cracks here and there,

But isn’t it the key for the light to sneak in?

–

Flaunt your scars, glorify your failures,

They make you, who you are and prove you are human,

Embrace every crack, that personifies your identity,

It makes you more beautiful; don’t consider them ugly!
