Bruised edges tender fractures
Marks where tender battles stayed
Flaws like rivers mapping courage
Proof of how the soul was made
Perfect things are often brittle
Unscarred glass shatters fast
Broken pieces catch more sunlight
Turning wounds to colored glass
In each crack a tale of trying
In each tear defiant grace
Those who feel are never empty;
Pain becomes a sacred place
Wear your fractures like a story
Let your healing hum its art
Life chose you to learn luminosity
In the cracks of fragile heart
