Broken pieces.

Stone heart.

Deep cuts.

Bad scars.


Don't let them see.

Don't let them in.

They'll make it worse

or get it too.


Burnt.

Bruised.

Pierced.

Hurt.


These are words

that I used to live by,

but I picked up the pieces

and softened up.


The wounds healed.

The scars faded.

I let them in.

I let them see.


They put out the flames

that burnt me.

They helped me through it

and I survived.
