Broken but not Shatterd

I may seem broken to all who look

But you should never judge the cover of a book

I have rough edges and am torn up a bit, too

But even imperfect people can depict a beautiful view

My heart is torn and I wear scars

My light may be dull,

But I shine like a star

I feel pain to the highest degree

But my eyes are open to all that I see

I may be broken,

But I am not shattered

My fractured pieces go together like a puzzle

Flawed, yet, whole

Displaying every part of me for the world to understand
