Flaws To Face Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Flaws to face,
Varing insecurities...
Many with them wishing to hide,
By either eating them away...
In the hope to erase them.
Or bringing them up in conversation,
On a daliy basis.
As if their insecurities,
Are the only ones to exist.
To have them become difficult to deny,
For anyone listening to them described.

'Face them to eliminate them.'

~I can't do that.~

'Why? '

~If I do,
What else would there be for us to discuss? ~

'How about other stuff,
That doesn't include you?
Stop mentioning your insecurities,
That's what you can do.
We all have them.
I have them too.'

~You act as if I am boring you.~

'I don't believe it.
Finally both us notice,
You are beginning to make some progress.'
