They said that that broken people created the most beautiful things. Maybe that’s why my parents had created me. I would have called myself a china doll. But then, you came along. Then, you, You. And all of you together, had me broken. Touching a china doll is a sacred act. As a six-year-old, that is a difficult concept to grasp. While you ravished me, made me your wealth for five years, I didn’t even know my worth. But when I knew, I was already eleven-years-old, you were rich; had no use of me anymore. And I was scratched.   Then came you, when you did, I was already at an edge. I had forgotten what it was to be expensive when, all I think about is the scratches on my body. Thus, You barely touched me, and I was on the ground. I often think, I let the last of you happen. Whilst being cracked on the ground, it’s hard to be expensive. So, I didn’t scream. I didn’t object. I sat there and took it. But, I was on the verge of finding my gold, to piece me back together again. Now I need to start over again. I am coming for it, when I do, I will piece myself back together.
