being imperfect

you do not have to be perfect,
not in word,
or work,
appearance
or action.
we are no less because
of our
imperfections.
look around you,
few if any
have it down,
being human is hard,
but it doesn't have
to be.
go slowly, love slowly.
forgive yourself
as you
would others.
trust your instincts and
be who you are
meant to me.
no more, no less.
