this is all I wanted when I was seventeen
and I've finally found it at twenty one
sometimes it hurts, that it took me so long to find
but then I remind myself how I let other people break me into little pieces again and again and how I had to stick those pieces back together
and now they shine golden in the light
I am no longer fragile
I was once broken but now I am even more beautiful
No longer a porcelain doll but a masterpiece —a collectors item
and suddenly I find, that this golden glue has made me stronger
rejection no longer hurts — I prefer it over the sting of regret, and I have vowed to never feel regret ever again
