Getting better each day
Trying
Slowly
It hurts

I know good is to come
I know beauty is inside
I know the artist is wonderful
But every chip of the chisel makes me want to give up

Every swing of the hammer makes me cry
Every stroke of the brush knocks me down
Every moment in the flame hardens my heart
But it hardens my resolve

The artist has seen my clay and promised beautiful things
I won't be this way forever
Somebody is sculpting me into my true self
But every gentle touch feels like shattered bones

My broken pieces are turning into a beautiful mosaic
Stunning and colorful
But right now it hurts
Right now I need help
To see what the artist sees

Right now I can't trust the artist
Because all I've felt is hurt
All I've seen is pain
I can't ever see what the artist sees

But I know he's there
I know he loves me
I know he is slowly healing me
Even if I can't see it, he can

So I'm getting better
Trying
Slowly
It hurts
But I'm getting better
