To My Imperfect Self

You’ve lost your way, made mistakes.

Now, you’re finding your way, learning, even as you falter.

And you will falter.

You’ve hurt, and you’ve been hurt.

Now, you’ve been making amends, and you’re learning to heal.

And you will heal.

Oh Self, you are so far from perfect –

But to me, you are the closest to perfect I know.
