unexpected beauty

We have plans.
We paint a picture
of perfect beauty
and the ideal life.
However, we find beauty,
a reason to live,
a reason to fight,
in an unexpected place.
True beauty has
no expectations and no image.
We live our lives with a certain plan
of who and where we will be.
Possibly,
suddenly,
from nowhere,
our route is diverted.
Where we end up,
who we become
is somewhere, someone
full of flaws,
often stereotyped,
unimaginable,
unexpected,
and beautiful.
