Beautiful Portrait

Broken pieces fallen on the ground

A half hearted smile scarce to be found

Rigorous honesty one at a time finds

Broken in pieces is not the mind

Shattered mirrors, a broken reflection makes

Once mended a beautiful portrait takes

This was me, Once upon a time

Still and fragmented, scarcely worth a dime

(to me)

Yet like a diamond, whom never loses its worth

I was precious as rubies even from birth

Half empty, or half full, who can tell

Going through heaven, Going through hell

Is there only black and white

No! There are many shades of grey

Rainbows can be seen through the rain

Broken pieces a puzzle to fix

Greys and colors in the mix

Shadows add density and light

God's creations can be optimistic and bright

Like the lone tree in the middle of the run

My focus was settled upon the one

Now, to the left, to the right, so much space

In the mirror, it's me I face

If I say I can or I can't it's truth

My life thus far is the proof

And still I can change my thought process

To see who I am, not "yet another mess"

Broken pieces fallen to the ground

A full hearty smile now is found

Shattered mirror, a broken reflection makes

Once mended, a beautiful portrait takes
