Blood and Bones

I am made of Earth and I am made of stars,

I am made of bones and I am made of scars.

I am broken promises and the absence of lost time,

I am faded starlight but one day I will shine.

I am the 3am burning echoes and the rippling reality of this,

I am the darkness in daylight, craving the silent moons kiss.

I am all words unsaid, the phrases never to be spoken,

I am a mosaic of infinite worth and yet some still see me as broken.

For what you are and what you were, so easy to define.

I am simply blood and bones with a  heavy hearted mind.

Author's Note

We must learn to accept what we are, so no one can use it against us.

This is an excellent piece. I am impressed by the matter of fact tone I read this in and the metaphors that are used. I also enjoyed the simple rhymes. By far however, since it is something I deeply enjoy, was the title drop in the final line.

Wonderfully done. Bravo.

I feel a little of sylvia plath in this? You have a talent beyond your years, nourish it as best you can, fragile things have a habit of slipping away.
