We were all unbroken once
All dancing our way through lives without fear
Maybe I’ll break enough to be powder
And I’ll know what it is to be again unbroken
Different pieces suffused into a whole
Strong again
No longer sifting bloody hands through broken glass
Trying to get enough pieces to put back together
But whole
As this new thing
No longer trying to get back to a was
Seeing what is
And accepting a way forward
As this
My new self
