Once horrified by my human imperfections,
Not feeling up to standard,
Up to par,
Or truly deserving of love,
And acceptance.
Yet, I’ve learned the most,
About my value,
From these very limitations.
I just kept digging deeper,
And deeper still,
Searching for my worth,
Until I stumbled upon,
A most beautiful,
And priceless treasure,
One soft and utterly defenseless,
Beating heart.
