Wabi-Sabi
I can't imagine looking at
my fractured self and feeling whole
acceptance always felt impossible
my whole self
- not being for everybody
but there's a different view
where I'm
the sum of my parts
which is something
else entirely
because when looked at
like that
I can be loved and treasured
and it feels wonderful
only I can hold my whole self together
it's not the universe's responsibility
or yours
but as flawed as I am
doesn't mean I can't be loved
the light catches me differently
and within that halo, I'm seen
I want to reach out
and take the hands
of those that piece me together
to be healed
so that all my
sharp edges disappear
and become
intricate pretty shapes
of a person
who became
who they were supposed to be
