mosaic

I’m definitely a mosaic

or a never ending tapestry

summing up my life and character

all of my love and tragedy

I’m definitely a mosaic

a collage of people I’ve loved

you can view me like a work of art

and know who’s hurt me enough

I’m a collection of poetry

my speech words that have already been sung

and my thoughts voices I’ve heard before

composed of loved ones and ones I’ll love but may never truly know

and the people I now hate or can’t respect,

but who I once thought I’d need until my dying breath,

they all left their mark on me

it’s forever there, immortalized on my tapestry

my beautiful mosaic wouldn’t be complete-

without knowing you, I could never have become me
