Pieces

Always a giver never one to receive

I am broken.

People pick the "beautiful"

from my shattered pieces

and put it together

like it would fix me,

because beautiful beings

are made with pretty things,

right? That means I must

be insignificant, small

enough to fit in the palm

of your hand cause the only

piece of me that matters

is the one that continues to give

all of her beautiful pieces away

to complete other delicate displays

of shards with her single piece

to show people a completed form,

their whole being,

not leaving enough for me

to see myself the same.

Only left with pieces

no one else wanted.

About the Creator

A. Nguyen

A writer at heart who wants to share my works. I want to evoke emotion in people when they read my writing but I won't ever know if I can, if I don't put anything out into the world so this is my first step :)
