Exceptional Perfection doesnt exist Fractured Glass by EILEEN LAW I Am Not Perfect writing prompt entry

Spin the story for all to hear For it protects the seller Let it fall to deafened ear Out to you from the teller   Cutting lies intended to save This broken heart of mine Terror taken from those who gave I'm running again in time   I've learned the truth is always better Sometimes too much to bear I admit it here in this letter For all who wish to hear   The image shattered my inner child to seek perfections visage Cracks inside are not so mild to those who are addicted     Writing Prompt Write a poem about a flaw that you see in yourself. Author Notes Ahh the years of my youth that forced lies in order to protect myself or my siblings from abuse. These habits carried forward into my adulthood. Of course through all of my scars I learned the truth was easier and less stressful than the lies. How do you remember them all? I did swing too hard the other way, became overly truthful? Yes, but I have found the perfect blend. The truth is easier than any lie. When its hurtful, I remain silent. (whenever possible)
