like the building of a shelf
we get caught in the design
& we forget about our self

the measurments are right
the looks are all in place
but something is still missing
in a single empty space

we go back & recalibrate
all that we have done
looking for a single flaw
but the appearance shows us none

although appearance means alot
it is not everything
it's the heart within the structure
& the happiness it brings

it also must be sturdy
built to take a load
like a heart with a destination
all alone out on the road

every peice has a certain place
& only there is where it fits
like words never spoken
to a heart that called it quits

It looks like boredom has paved the way for a wonderful message! It is so true: society pushes for looks--th exterior. What should be promoted more often is the interior--the aspect that accentuates physical beauty. Well written this is and I hope to see many more like this,

I probably said this before but I'll say it again, "You should stay bored 'cause this write is dynamite."
Good job.
Huggs, blessings,
