A broken vase is worthless
To anyone but me
When they see a mess,
I see beauty
Most will turn away
Brush it off as nothing
But I'll run up to it
Mend it if I can
People think I'm crazy
For letting myself be cut
On the shattered ceramic
But I don't care
Once glued back together
It will return to the shelf
Once more full of yellow roses
Different now from the others
Where others see a broken shell,
I see a lovely girl
Who's heart is heavy and hurts
Because she is more than the broken pieces everyone sees
And I can see the true girl inside her scattered fragments and behind her floral fronts
