In Pieces of Poetry

I write with those little pieces of confinement 
I have in me.
I write with those precious belongings of the memories I have kept embedded. 
I write like that tiny bird building its nest with immense care and love.
I write words linked with the verses of my previous self.
I write with the imperfections I had always cursed myself for,
For not being able to put my pieces into places every time,
For not loving less than my entire existence. 
I have written less but felt more. 
I have thought more than destruction. 
I look into myself and feel nothing but harmony of empathy. 
I search for similarities but get empowered with the folds of restraint. 
I write with fear and faith.
