i believed a lie that my body was worthless
self-ruined, self-destructing
that others loathed it as much as i had come to
—
i believed a lie that my mind was the ultimate
the only part of me worthwhile
only loveable when disembodied
—
i believed a lie that my soul was grounded
because my body was a fetter
and my mind was proud and cold
—
but then someone saw past the body
and ignored the processes of the mind
finding something interesting
in what i can only suppose was my soul
—
i came to realize the reality was this
people loved me not singlely but as a whole
for mind and body and soul were inseperable
combined into one, which was the essence of me
—
at this i stood amazed
realizing that the One who created
mind, body and soul loved me completely
and had given me flaws to remind me
that He was the only, ultimate Perfection
