Smashed against the wall broken into tiny pieces and sharp shards
Crushed and stomped into the ground til there is no more
Withered and nearly dead struggling to survive
Ripped and torn apart drifting in the wind

Some pieces large enough to see with the eye
Some parts too small and only discovered when stepped on
Some pieces never found at all
Some parts always barren and dead

Lost pieces fell into cracks and tears but, always remembered
Lost parts tucked in the darkness but, always remembered
Lost pieces swept out of sight but, always remembered
Lost parts left in the past festering but, always remembered

Time passes
Time passes
Passes
Passes

Some of the pieces have returned and I am stronger
Some of the parts have been found and I am wiser
Some of the pieces are gone forever and I am better off
Some of the parts have found a way to thrive and I am grateful

Found, is the need for life lessons
Found, is the need to look back and reflect
Found, is the need to forgive but, never forget
Found, is the need to love again

Time passes
Time passes
Passes
Passes
