Picture Perfect - Looking Through

Photo taken with a Canon SD10 Digital Elph

if you could look

through my skin

into my mind
into my soul

what would you see

would you see

the flaws

that catch

the light

would you see

the stains

that make

odd patterns

would you see

the damage

the years

have wrought

would you see

the whole

and choose

me anyway

because i'm different

The Picture Perfect theme for this week is "Looking through". The photo is of my crystal. When I went crystal shopping, I heard words like 'flawless', 'perfect', 'unmarred', 'not dirty'. I found crystals that matched those words, but didn't like them. I ended up buying a crystal that was like me.... a crystal that was flawed, but carried a flame in its heart.
