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.
