“Flawed Masterpiece” is one of the first poems I wrote for The Paradox Complex the meaning is rather simple. It’s about loving and accepting someone for who they are, even when he or she is unable to love and accept himself/herself.
Flawed Masterpiece
You call yourself flawed, I love all of you
I love your imperfections and everything you do
You call them faults, I say you are only human
Having you in my life, I look up and say “Amen”
Though flawed, God made you to perfection
You are unique, despite your objection
You tell me your flaws are what make you weak
I’m saying your flaws are what make you unique
I see a bright shining star
You are a light shining the dark
You are perfect to me
You’re the way God made you to be
I see a flawed masterpiece
For every flaw, something about you is flawless
Even the imperfections, you possess great knowledge
To me, you are truly a masterful work of art
And despite everything, I love you for who you are
You point out so much of yourself and say “defect”
I see things about you and I respond saying “perfect”
You tell me your flaws are what make you weak
I’m saying your flaws are what make you unique
I see a bright shining star
You are a light shining the dark
You are perfect to me
You’re the way God made you to be
I see a flawed masterpiece
Though you are flawed, you are flawless
Though unsettled you still seek solace
Here I am to lift you when you want to decease
Here I am to tell you that you are a masterpiece
I see a bright shining star
You are a light shining the dark
You are perfect to me
You’re the way God made you to be
I see a flawed masterpiece
To me you are a flawed masterpiece
