Kintsugi the art of turning damage into beauty
It is the Japanese who mend their broken pottery with lacquer mixed with powered gold
It is the pain and trauma in my life that leaves scars on my arms, my neck, my skin and mind
If I were a bowl I'd be covered in gold from my head to my toes
the scars on my body would be golden like the stars in the sky I'd be golden my heart would be golden my brain would be golden my tears would be silver dripping dripping like the lacquer on the brush
If I could paint my memories with gold the pain with gold then I wouldn't be broken
Our pain is what transforms us into beautiful pottery and it is the cracks left from damage that make us unique and paint our soul in gold
If I were a bowl I'd be gold like my soul
