The devoted poet Who heals with their words And makes people smile Small comments Like "how are you?" Or small compliments Like "i like this poem" Are but a small part Of the kindness you share With the devotion of a poet Some might say You are broken I would say beautiful Because in a world obsessed with perfect The broken ones are the ones who stand out They have a chance to heal And though the process Become greater than perfect Like how a broken bone Becomes stronger once it's healed And you're healing I've seen it You work tirelessly With the devotion of a poet You see the world better than any perfect person You see it through a "broken" lense Viewing the world with a kaleidoscope of points of view And you view each one with empathy You see the world through the lens of the broken Of the healed Of the perfect And of the poets And you tell those stories With the devotion of a poet And you are you Unfiltered, unaltered You do not hide Or change yourself Because you may not be perfect But you are better than perfect You are you And that's why I like you With the devotion of a poet
