A Beautiful Mess

A Beautiful Mess is one of my favourite songs by Jason Mraz because the message is one that I need to constantly remind myself of, that I am still lovely even though my life feels like a mess. In gratitude of his beautiful music and lyrics, I'm naming this poem in honour of his song.

A Beautiful Mess

How a mess can be beautiful
is beyond me.
All I feel is broken
like a mirror shattered
in a million pieces
on the floor.

Parts of me are lost for good
while others are cobbled
into a new mosaic.
I will never be as I was
and some will grieve over this.
But I am finally learning
to embrace myself,
scars and all.

It's liberating to just be
and drop the expectations
on the floor.
They hit the ground
silent,
because they never existed
at all.
