Amazingly Beautiful

by: Jeaneth Panti

 

The world tells that her emotions are repressed

inside her cob-webbed heart,

layer after layer to hide her being.

But they do not know what lies inside - 

She never stopped knocking on doors

that were long kept shut,

not afraid of scraping old wounds

and taming other people's shadows.

She is a running mess of emotions and feelings..

trying to do everything

to fix her brokenness,

to be more than enough.

Not knowing that even when she thinks she's not, 

she still is, different in countless ways.

It's a quest to understand her,

who she really is and what she really feels.

Most days, she barely recognizes her own pieces,

for she is too busy picking up the fragments

of other people's soul's and building them again.

She seeks something, more than curiosity and hope,

her silent presence is not perfect,

but she is amazingly beautiful.
