Surfacing slowly, from abstract to defined, Collecting the pieces I lost over time, Memories once tangible, and solid they stand, Once fought to hold on, fell through like quick sand Pieces of me although faded and bent, Leave memories like scars, of paths that we went, Desperate to feel time, like moments we carry, Digging the deepest i tried hard to burry, Now matching the pieces, to the puzzle we are, Connecting the dots that got us this far, Fighting to focus, blurred to make right, From years of crossing my eyes to distort the sight, Feeling myself, i touch every scar, Remembering each memory that got me this far, My marks like engravings, a time I once knew, Moments kept with me for proof that I grew, In front of a mirror, I view my reflection, Admiring the beauty and each inperfection, Once sared and uncomfortable, inside filled with fear, Now accepting my beauty that comes with each year, Every step we take molds us, beautifully unique, Blessings in disguise lay mistakes we must keep, Our past define us, let your story be told, Wisdom we trust, understood once were old
