Perfect

We are born perfect,

10 toes, 10 fingers, two beautiful eyes,

and a whole heart,

but along the way travelers have invited themselves into your home,

and taken pieces of you,

eyes haunted by the past,

insides hollow, and

heart slowly chipped away at, bit by bit,

until you're left with a shell,

parts barely functioning,

struggling to go on.
