16... and still sane (A Little Handcrafted Paradise)

My acne,

is a horrid reminder every time I wake up.

It\'s an irksome pest that hides my inner-beauty, with a layer of RED!

Yet, it\'s a part of who I am. It\'s a constellation on my face, each pimple a unique star.

 

My depression,

is like a downhearted Blue Jay - with amputated wings.

Yet, despite its physical setbacks, it marches each step -

with the same Freedom and Pride!

 

My loneliness,

is like an individual mirror, which only reflects me - me and me alone -

despite the crowd engulfing me. Yet, within this honed-in reflection,

I learn to cherish my own complexion - it allows me to love myself - despite the solitude. 

 

Your attitude towards the world - dictates your outcome.

 

When life gives you Hell,

Make a little handcrafted Paradise!
