the blight of perfection

[lucidnightmares]

fall into the depths of yourself
a lonely world or reflection
mirrored radiance
burning your will to live

everything is beautiful
nothing is pure
everything is wonderful
but nobodies sure

a rose is painful
yet we adore it`s grace
beauty is awful
but it has it`s place

without beauty,
we wouldn`t judge
lose our duty
to hold a grudge

and without the light
shadows would fade
we`d lose our blight
discard our facade

for perfection is hideous
and beauty tainted
our flaws make us human
our desires give way to evil

[Tarquin]

I really like this, it is very good!
'everything is wonderful but nobodies sure' and
'a rose is painful yet we adore it's grace'
are my favorite. :)

I agree with Tarquin. I like the part "a rose is painful yet we adore its grace" also. I find the last stanza to be so true and well written. I like the style you used to write the poem. Well done and keep it up. Thank you for sharing such a cool poem.
