Everyone Is a Little Off

What if

What if we all quit griping

About people’s flaws

Long enough to take a breath

And remember, when it comes to flaws

We are not the best measuring stick?

As if

As if we didn’t expect

Anyone to have as many flaws

As we do??

Because everyone

I mean everyone

Is more than just a little off

And what if

We gave people a break for being human?

What if

We opened up our own closet

And found the skeletons of our own

Pain

Insecurities

Selfishness

And lies

And forgave ourselves for them

So we could forgive others for theirs too?
