Where it is

Better Homes and Gardens is a lie.
What is interesting, what fascinates,
what has power
is not perfection,
not the stuff of glossy pictures

and fairy tales,
but failure
and the gritty crawl
back.

The struggle.
that’s the thing.
That’s where real beauty lies, not
in perfect skin, but
in the scars.
