A Vessel

Creation-Poetry Playground Writing Prompt #25

This vessel has taken years
Years of pain, of carving
Into this woman, shaped
By a thousand paper cuts
Slowly taking their time
Bruising and scarring
Heartbreaks, taking a toll
On walls around my heart

I am a journey, a quest
That’ll never be at an end
Every day, every moment
There is something new
To discover and to absorb
About my being, my soul
I am constantly evolving
As the seasons, as the tides

Now today, I am whole,
Not in spite of my scars,
But because of them
A mosaic of pain and love
Of sorrow and resilience
I am a work in progress,
With all its complexities
I embrace light and dark
