Many have told of my greatest flaws,

But they all come from somewhere, no matter where,

They say they’ve overstayed their welcome,

I am an over-thinking, sensitive, perfectionist!

I think of words of the past like a repeating tape,

I worry about things, even that I can’t control,

I am emotional when I should be logical,

I keep working until it’s good enough.

But my greatest flaws aren’t flaws at all,

They are my greatest strengths:

I observe more than you can imagine,

Which allows me to notice what others don’t,

I’m compassionate for what matters,

Which allows me to make positive waves,

I’m determined to do my very best,

Which allows me to rewrite and edit my work

And rewrite and edit my story, for a better version,

It’s all up to how you see it, but I know my value.
