RESILIENCE

I am weak, fragile,

But not glass.

I have been shattered at times,

Completely broken.

I have gathered the pieces,

And put them back together.

But the cracks,

They don’t show.

They are not there,

I am healed.

And then I’ve been broken.

Over and over.

Lost pieces and parts.

But I am still a whole,

As for myself

For I’ve learned how to turn.

Cracks into swords.

Regrets into lessons.

Weaknesses into strengths.
