[Kintsugi (golden joinery) or kintsukuroi (golden repair) is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. - Wikipedia]
We are all imperfect-
broken
scarred
fragmented
Breaking
Falling apart
Shattering
Into a million pieces
Small and big
Scars-
like lingering memories
like the blood in my veins
Not just skin deep
But permeates into
my empty soul
Fragmented
Butchered ruthlessly
But I won’t break
Or disintegrate
Into nothing
But a sorry puddle of tears
Or drown
into the ocean of fears
I will fix myself
I will glue it up
I will pick up
Every broken piece
That’s a part of me....
and
Put it all back together
With the
gold of courage
Silver of hope
I will create a new me.
Slowly but surely
I will be whole again....
