Beautifully Broken

My imperfections speak volumes with cutting 
words in perfect prose to my higher self
Long ago those shards caused wounds but 
now are ghosts of a broken lower self
Hollow shells of a self we loved the most are
shattered versions & bound to go 
The Rapture occurred in the vessel I call a home
but untrained eyes would never know
I show the world every part so they are privy to
the version they need the most 
My mind is a house for you to visit but not a home
for those that mishandle hosts
I'm at home wherever I go so it matters not were I
pitch a tent
This world lives in your minds hidden rooms
without having to pay the rent
I'm convinced the broken are beautiful beings & just
mirrors for us to see
The world is broken so of course we are but we're 
not destined to always be
