Kintsugi

Everytime I fix myself

You’ll find me on the floor

Shattered in a million pieces

Like every time before

It’s like a broken record

Spinning on repeat

Never moving forward

Constant feelings of defeat

Full of imperfections

And oh so many flaws

I tried to hide it all away

Too focused on the cause

But you, you saw me lying there

In shades of blues and greens

Catching all the rays of sunlight

No weakness did you see

You saw the strength and wisdom

The love down deep inside

Each fracture a beautiful story

Reflecting each tear I cried

With expert hands of precision

Picking up each broken piece

You glued me back together

Creating a brilliant masterpiece

Ribbons of gold wrapped round me

Binding the parts together

Highlighting the strength in my fractures

Honoring me forever

This the philosophy of kintsugi

Turning adversity into resilience

Honoring the many wounds and loses

While admiring her spirit of valiance
