I wear your brokenness like fashion
Suffering your love earned me the right
Replaced the pieces with compassion
Battle scars, won in the fight
Beautiful marks, reveal the battle
A badge of honor, worn with pride
Up loves creek, without a paddle
The strength builds me up inside
Porcelain patches provide protection
It’s soft smooth texture offers calm
Picturing a new face and reflection
A shore of shelter from the storm
Scarcely escaping loves deception
A fine line fracture, exposing flesh
Earthquakes sitting on fault lined perfection
Leaning on faith and nothing less
Witness the beauty that comes from pain
Cause it will never come again
