Far from your Perfection

I am far from your
Perceived perfection.
I am not a God
Or superhero
But a man -
Flawed and glued together
from the shrapnel
Of an endless war.
 
Krieg / War

  5. It's bleak, but somehow ennobling that people can be made from the pieces of struggle. Enduring despite pain and evil, et cetera.
