Today’s #maydays prompt find happiness in your flaws.
His multitudinous flaws
Stood out like dogs balls.
It was a veritable litany of faults.
This marriage report read:
Failed husband
Failed lover
Failed parent.
His work report read:
Barely efficient
Barely contributed
Barely interested.
His social report read:
Socially inept
Socially crippled
Socially isolated.
Every flaw and fault was eagerly reported on
His lovers and partners quick to point out
The many errors he made daily
That he could be a better man
Once he shed the pathetic self he clung to.
But he didn’t, he was as he said
“The sum of all my parts.”
He withdrew into himself
Lived in splendid isolation
Only himself to satisfy.
But he still hangs out hope
Someone would see him for what he is,
Not a pariah to be avoided
But a man, unique, flawed
And so very lovable.

“My sins are ever before me” (King David, I think…)–isolation works for me, but like the poem’s speaker, I sometimes wish there was someone with large enough heart to tolerate, even love the whole of me.
Oh Stella we do, you are special and from where I sit you are ok……
The blog world is far more accepting, isn’t it–I see you as a king 🙂
Stop that Stella, I’ll have to go out and buy a bigger hat….and yes blog land is very accepting especially as we are all trying to do the same thing, write something that makes sense to someone else…
I’m sure there’s a “big hat” sale going on somewhere–or you can shop online (try Texas)!
You have to feel sorry for him…there’s only one side of each situation given.
True Lyn, thanks for stopping by.
