I went through life thinking about "wrong."
I was dark thoughts of a dark world with a dark mind.
I lived divided, my holes made me wholly focused
On filling the emptiness.
But I wasn't broken... Only unfinished.
There are no answers to all of my questions...
I lack experience. I lack perspective.
I don't know anything - nothing makes sense -
Because I am a canvas, the brush, and the paint.
I am even the artist, and I'm painting my fate.
I'm not broken, just... unfinished.
I have my shadows, and they make my image.
I don't need fixing - I'm not wrong for being.
I'm a whole person, a whole painting in motion,
A tapestry growing, a river evolving.
I am not broken, and I'm not finished.
Now say this again, but say that it's you.
No more cutting yourself up,
Or tearing you down.
Say it again, and think of all others.
Those that you care for,
And those that you don't.
They don't need to be fixed -
They're not wrong for being -
None of them broken - only unfinished.
No matter what judgment you place on another,
No matter their actions,
No matter their trouble...
No one is broken. We're all just unfinished.
And you're not my brush, not my artist, nor paint.
And I wouldn't presume to edit your image,
Because you're unfinished and not quite like me...
I'm sharing this mainly because I think you can't see...
No one is broken. We're all just unfinished.

Beautiful poem Nycto. It really speaks to me and where my journey has taken me. Facing the sides of ourselves we are told are wrong and bad, but only labels placed on us. Thank you for sharing <3

"The Master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried."
Do not rely on ANYTHING, unexamined. If It does not seem to fit, ask about it. If it ultimately degrades or dishonors or holds you back, it is bad for you, so remove it from your life. If it takes from you and never gives back, it is a leech. Discard it. In magick rely only on your own work: What you have seen and done and used for your own self and in your own way. Only keep what in your own estimation is worth keeping. (Hellcat's Rules Of Satanic Magick)"
Don't get too close. It's Dark inside. It's where my Demons hide!

Thanks. I had the initial concept but I was having trouble getting it out, so I asked E and Tz to help with some inspiration. So I don't feel I can take full credit... But I'm glad it's resonating. <3

Beautiful poem.
Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon, no matter how good you are at chess the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it is victorious.
You think I'm just a doll. A doll that's pink and light. A doll you can arrange any way you like. You're wrong. Very wrong. What you think of me is only a ghost of time. I am dangerous. And I will show you just how dark I can be.
