Imperfectly Perfect -- Original poem

Here is poem I thought of on a whim. It's quite fitting considering the title. 😊

 Scars, bruises, scratches that align the arms -- they should on display
Nervously smile as people stare with judgment, but yet understand fully
They realize their scars and all on their bodies, realizing their self-consciousness too
These scars and imperfections are some things that never fade -- they alter our perspectives
Seeing smooth skin and flawless hair that flows seems surreal 
It's imperfectly perfect to some, but others think it's impossible
Seeing white and grey hairs growing in your hair, eyeglasses and scars on the skin 
Imperfectly perfect
Be imperfectly perfect by your speech, walk, sight, smell, whatever you have, you own it
Own that you're imperfectly perfect
Live happily in your skin; your laugh, your voice is yours 
Never blame yourself for you -- imperfectly perfect
Be happy, be you...imperfectly perfect

The Inevitable -- Original Poem

It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected  It interrupts you, discourages you It was meant to happen It has changed you, your life It has made you live for more Someone or something that was meant for you You yearn to know the reason But it remains unknown, hidden It was meant to happen It confuses you, frustrated you It has angered you, enticed you Made you feel defeated But you never gave up You strived to learn more You remained persistent, never gave up It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected has occurred to you Don't let it go You will know it soon enough It was the inevitable

The Source: A Rediscovered Homeland (An unfinished short story)

This is a short story that I have been writing for a couple months, and I have hit writer's block. Ugh! I love to write, and I try to improve on it whenever I can. A lot of times I feel my sentence structure, punctuation and syntax need improvements. As always, I am open to constructive feedback about my posts on here; even so, if you have any ideas about how I can elaborate and edit this story. There are no true life experiences related to this, it's really just creative writing. Anyway, please enjoy! The Source: A Rediscovered Homeland”             Preface: It all started with a young man, Paolo, who carried a determination like no one else. First off, he would climb tall trees, heights longer than 20 feet, and he embraced the quirkiest of creatures like spiders, frogs, snakes, owls and much more. Paolo’s friends seem jealous yet amazed by his persistence; Paolo never ceased striving to thrill himself, seek...

Be You: Know What You Are and Proclaim It

Self-worth : A feeling that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Some of us may wonder when we will ascertain our purpose , or what thing(s) give(s) us a purpose . It is often a ruminating question that circulates in many minds on a continual basis; whereas, it is something that we have to cope by whenever it happens to us. Often times we think about whether we can feel comfortable enough to feel happy with ourselves and to present it to other people who need it the most. Whenever we can achieve goals of true inner-peace and contentment within ourselves and exude it is when we share it. Do not let other people determine you because you matter as well; you matter so much that many other people want you to, too. Know your worth , your value , your existence , your being ; you’re being is something that takes precedence , regardless of discouragement , adversity or whatnot comes in between you and it. Feel it, be it, realize i...
