This is for the lonely people
who carry so much pain
but still wear a smile on their face
clinging to hope desperately
believing that one day everything will change

This is for those who have given their soul to someone
only to have it thrown back in their face
yet they still have the courage to believe in love

This is for the broken ones
who carefully pick up each shard of themselves
eyes filled with tears
and hands dripping blood from where each piece cut them
in the process

This is for the ones who conjured the strength
to put the puzzle of themselves back together
filling in the cracks and missing spots with melted gold
becoming more beautiful than an intact person could ever be

Blessed are we who understand pain so well
because it teaches us to cherish our joy more than most
