Necessary Imperfections
I am alive,
Because of this I smile.
Are things perfect?
Nope.
But, I don’t complain
For it wouldn’t change a thing.
I am alive,
Because of this I’m grateful.
Grateful am I,
This because I am alive.
Things changing wouldn’t be so
Even if I complained.
But, I don’t.
Everything perfect?
Nope.
This is the reason for my smile.
Because of THAT I am alive.
This is a piece I was inspired to write from my Poetry class at Morehouse College in Spring 2014. The assignment was to write a poem and halfway through the piece you flip it (preferably word for word) and have the poem make sense in its reversal as well. This is my conclusion.
