Kintsukuroi

Each of us
Has hidden history
Not everyone knows

Scars within and out
Dusts from the cracks
We once been broken
By the unexpected

Yet miraculously 
We survive and overcome
Not knowing how we ever do it

We will never be the same
Like we used to be 
Even we try
It is like we have lost some of ourselves
Along the way

Becoming different
A little more humble
A little more wiser
A little more braver

Better version of ourselves
Being blessed with gold dust
Over us
Making it this far
Being unique

Finally able to understand
What it is like 
To be beautiful inside
With abilities we are born with
Our gifts
Waiting for us to shine out
From us

The scars to the beautiful
Our eternal honor 
To our signs of living
This world and hereafter
