Beautifully Broken

I am a home,

I have been rebuilt repeatedly

From indistinguishable fires,

Foreigners taking root inside my house,

Rain falling down on my darkest days

Making my interior damaged.

Never the same again.

But I'll fix myself

Because

No one else will.

I'll take my hurt

And build my character

It made me who I am today.

A mansion instead of a house.

Deep with a purpose that one day

I won't have to hide my trauma

In this damaged mansion.

Instead someone will take my for sale sign

And make a home out of me

Accepting every little crack and cut,

And loving me for it.
