A Search For Weakness


There is an obsession for a search for weakness For person will never be perfect for it is inhuman Beings always allow their keen eyes to find rust in the can For imperfection in a human means completeness Why search for a stain Maybe it helps a heart filled with insecurity or pain For another's pretty wings can hurt another’s heart So searching for a weakness comforts by a part
