Divine Revelation I wanted to crop out my mistakes
and resize my life
to fit into your frame.
I attempted to flip my slips,
rotate my sins
so you won’t know
what a failure my photograph was.
I struggled to adjust the contrast
between us
but our differences
are why you chose me.
You saw me as without blemish
even when I was untouched
by tools that would
alter my imperfections.
My spots are what
make me who I am
and scars are lessons
that make me more beautiful.
