Never Perfect. Always Authentic. Forever REAL.
On the days
when you feel
ashamed of your scars,
your mind only registering
how ugly they are
rather than the beauty
they prove of you having survived,
remember that
there is an entire art form dedicated
to filling the cracks of broken things with lacquered gold.
An entire art form that proves that
even the broken and damaged history of an object
is beautiful and should be treasured.
Remember
how much more you are
than an object.
Remember
your survival, your journey,
your scars deserve
to be treasured too.
