192010 by PA
an ordinary day made extraordinary,
this was the day when I met my true self and
said hello to all the things I’ve been hiding from
for years I numbed myself never knowing that
I've already deprived myself of a full life
never realizing that I’ve hurt and pushed away
the people who genuinely cared about me
the day I decided to make myself whole again
picking up all the shattered pieces and gluing them
up all together again now
the funny part is who would’ve thought that
the place that seemed so horrible to me would be my
glue to help me put back all
the pieces right where they’re supposed
to be now this is my strength, my safe harbor
I believe I’m right where I
should be and I am ready.
