So, I gave myself a chance,
To rebuild myself from the scratch,
I started gathering all those pieces
That were sprinkled in all those years,
To bind them together in such a way,
That they'll withstand the storms in their wake.
Now I can feel the texture of my skin,
And it's beautiful in its craters.
I can see the color of my heart, it's gray
Where my God resides with my demons
And it's spectacular that way.
The girl in my mirror smiles proudly
For I have embraced her earnestly.
As for my name, I created a whole new identity,
Away from what they gave me,
Somehow I found my home,
By being me unapologetically.
