Pieces of Me

I used to know my shape.

Now I'm scattered across the floor,

trying to remember

what I was before.

I came apart in places no one could see,

Every little fracture buried underneath.

I wore a smile while the pieces fell,

Built a prison out of my own hell.

One piece for the anger,

One piece for the fear,

One for every voice that said

I'd never make it here.

I tried to hold it all together,

But some things break under pressure.

I'M IN PIECES!

SCATTERED IN THE DARK!

EVERY SHATTERED FRAGMENT

STILL CARRIES MY HEART!

I'M BROKEN!

BUT I'M NOT DESTROYED!

I'LL TAKE THESE PIECES OF ME

AND BUILD SOMETHING NEW!

There are parts of me I buried long ago,

Parts I couldn't face, parts I couldn't show.

Every broken promise left another scar,

Every goodbye taught me who my enemies are.

But I found something buried

Beneath the wreckage and the pain—

A heartbeat still refusing

To disappear again.

PICK UP THE PIECES!

ONE BY ONE!

I'M NOT FINISHED!

I'M NOT DONE!

YOU CAN BREAK MY BODY!

YOU CAN BREAK MY PRIDE!

BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE

WHAT'S STILL ALIVE!

I'M IN PIECES!

SCATTERED IN THE DARK!

EVERY SHATTERED FRAGMENT

STILL CARRIES MY HEART!

I'M BROKEN!

BUT I'M NOT DESTROYED!

I'LL TAKE THESE PIECES OF ME

AND BUILD SOMETHING NEW!

Maybe I don't have to be

The person I was before.

Maybe every broken piece

Can become something more.

I don't need to hide the cracks.

I don't need to make them disappear.

They're proof that I was shattered—

And proof that I'm still here.

I FELL APART!

I LOST MY WAY!

I BLED THROUGH EVERY

FUCKING DAY!

BUT LOOK AT ME NOW!

I'M STILL HERE!

I'M IN PIECES!

BUT I'M LEARNING HOW TO HEAL!

EVERY SHATTERED FRAGMENT

IS A PART OF WHAT IS REAL!

I'M BROKEN!

BUT I'M STRONGER THAN BEFORE!

I'LL TAKE THESE PIECES OF ME

AND BUILD MYSELF ONCE MORE!

I thought being broken

meant I was worthless.

Now I know—

The pieces

were always

mine.
