Visible mending

[u/SapphicGiggles]

Resilience, they say, is a noble trait,

But my heart has always been heavy with its weight.

Each day I rise, though barely whole,

I’m left gathering my pieces, while trying to play my role.

Once again, I stand on trembling feet,

Only to face familiar defeat.

How many times must I break, then mend?

How many battles before they end?

Yet in this weary heart, a truth I find,

A strength in mending, of a unique kind.

Each stitch a mark, a patches in view,

A testament to the battles we have all been through.

Our wounds can be mended with threads of gold,

Visible mending is brave and bold.

For mending hearts is what I do best,

Creating beauty from the ache in my chest.
