Made of Broken Pieces

I now choose myself over everyone

By Kennedy WashikaPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Made of broken pieces

I know nothing about perfection

But have got knowledge of affection

I have built a wall of protection

Am made of broken pieces

But I had to learn about peace

All along had been frozen in ice

They made me believe am worn

Until the day I made a move and won

It all proved them wrong

Have been broken

Have been torn

I felt worn

Until I came out of the cacoon

They had built for me

Until I stopped playing pity parties

Until I collected my broken pieces

My lost self and pulled myself together

I realized what I was made of

A great and visinionary woman lied inside me

I realized what I was made of

I now choose myself over everyone

I love myself more than I once did

Am now a free woman🧚🧚🧚
