Cracked

I am cracked pottery.
Leaking sadness
Nearly empty
Searching for something to fill me up,
to stop the joy from bleeding through my cracks.

Searching for tape
To hold the pieces together
Searching for fire
To rekindle and transform my scars to mesh together with my skin

I am just pieces, blowing in the wind,
Crumbling, grasping at the earth
Searching for a foothold
Blowing waywardly with no direction

I am lost.
