Graceful Imperfection

I am strong, yet flawed

A mix of light and shadow

I carry my burdens with grace

And face my fears with bravado

I am imperfect but worthy

Of love and acceptance all the same

I celebrate my unique qualities

And refuse to play the comparison game

I take care of my body and soul

With kindness and compassion

For I know that self-care is vital

To live a life of satisfaction

I forgive myself for my mistakes

And embrace the lessons they bring

I am constantly learning and growing

Like a butterfly with new wings

So I will honour my strengths and flaws

And treat me with gentle care

Self-love is the foundation

Of a life that's worth living, rare.
