Kintsugi
Kintsugi: the Japanese art of golden joinery.
I have healed myself as craftsmen repair pottery.
Drawing the precious metal from the elements within.
The energy in me stirs and charges, striking hot like lightning.
Liquifying the shimmering solid to meld the pieces of
My fractured heart back into one.
I embrace and cherish these lovely scars,
For they fortify the temple of my body and soul.
No longer am I willing to separate the
Parts of me into neat little boxes:
The professional, the artist, the lover,
The warrior, the daughter, the friend, the healer.
I am all of these things and much more.
I am beautiful, I am pure, I am strong, I am fierce
I am authentic, I am independent, and I am Love.
I define who I am, not the circumstances I am in.
Do you embrace me or cast my imperfections aside?
The reward of your devotion is sincerity, loyalty and love.
You can love me or hate me, take me or leave me,
I have made my choice, you can make yours.
This is me, all of me, I am pride with no ego,
That makes me dangerous in the face of fear.
I am not afraid to stand in my own light
Even if that means I must stand here alone.
