art of precious scars

someone said,
my writing used to reek of
heartbreak and pain and
now it feels
like healing.

And I couldn’t agree more,
writing healed me
when my heart ached with pain,
the sufferings were entrapped
striking from within,
again and again

I allowed them to come out,
ripping my heart apart,
and the words kept flowing,
until my tears dried,
until the bleeding stopped
until the wound healed
and now there is a scar,
where the wound
used to be,

I made kintsugi
out of them,
filling the cracks of
my broken heart
with self love and learning

and now when I write,
my words connect me with my
inner self,
helping to dive in the deepest corners of my soul
and pour out my pearls,
making a lighthouse for others,
helping them to heal

and mastering the
art of golden scars

PS: kintsugi is a Japanese art, broken objects are filled with precious metals mostly gold to keep it as a reminder of broken is beautiful.
