Beautiful Still

You broke, oh, how they broke you. You were beautiful before the break. You were beautiful as you were breaking. You are beautiful as you are reconstructing, not unbreaking, yourself. And oh, how beautiful you will be once you've stitched the broken pieces of yourself with the needle of acceptance and the golden thread of love for what's left. And when that’s not enough, you’re beautiful still in the raw, relentless will of becoming their reckoning.
