Kintsugi

I see you so clearly

a shattered porcelain doll

glued back together

a million times over

from lost lovers fall

I hear you loud and clear

when you say your fine

I know your not my dear

it's a way you learned to deal

with people who don't really care

who use your hurt as ammunition

to fire at you at will

saying your only attention seeking

your not really hurting

saying you aren't being real

but come my dear

and do not hide

shed those tears

I do not mind

but do not stay down

let me build you up

we'll take those scars you hide

and patch them up

we will fill in the cracks

the way the Japanese do

with the art of kintsugi

filling them with gold

I will teach you that

that scars are not to be hidden

but to display with pride

for you have survived

and for that reason alone

are one of the most beautiful
