Beautifully broken
Caitlin daquisto 1983 (New York)
Beautifully broken
Imperfectly perfect
Scarred
Marked
A road map
A road map of the dark road
The path of destruction
The destruction that was created for me and created by me
Pieces of myself left behind
Being put back together differently
Imperfectly
Which now shows the beauty of my brokenness
The strength in my scars
In my marks
In the road map
In my journey
In the destruction
That has made me
Imperfectly perfect
Beautifully broken
