How to rebuild a person…logically from the inside out, starting at the core, where it is broken…but getting there is the hard part. We have to shed skin…all the layers that we have created to hide the wound and shield it from view.
I have shed mine all at once, painful and bloody, desperate to get to the ailing heart within. Starting at the beginning…starting over. One beat at a time, taking back what was broken, scattered, and stolen. Taking back what is mine.
Until i do, i am useless…a broken vessel with nothing to offer and unable to contain the gift of fulfillment. Unable to love. Cutting others on my jagged edges, and hiding my face in shame.
This is my new beginning. Ugly…exposed…defiant. I want what is mine, i want my missing pieces…you cant have them anymore! And i will place them back one at a time…making myself whole…covering myself with new skin made of happiness, love, devotion, understanding….and truth…never to be broken again.
