She looked at the pieces of her life
scattered around her on the floor.
The frame shattered,
the fragile painting within,
the painting that shared her hopes,
fears & dreams,
torn to pieces.
“Well,” she said.
“I guess it’s time to make a collage.”
And with that,
she found beauty in the broken
& created a life for herself.
The pieces of her past
told a new & different story,
the glue binding them together
making her stronger than ever.
She didn’t erase the past –
Instead, she used it to create something better for herself.
