Museum Poem by YYY YYY

I want to have a tour
In a museum of broken hearts
Of shattered promises
Of crumbled hopes
Of indelible scars

I want to remind myself
That vulnerability is inevitable
And human fragility is incurable
And that people
No matter how strong
No matter how tall
Had gone from calamities
From anomalies
From insecurities

I want to believe
That every masterpiece I'd see
Depicts these feelings I carry
And these thoughts
That have been contaminating me lately
Akin to them
Even how heavy this load may seem
Even how painful things turn out to be
All of these
Will just be a part of history

And maybe someday
A part of me
Might be displayed in that museum
Reminding people
That broken pieces are beyond beautiful
Only when left for the eyes to see
Only when left as pages of a memory
Especially when left to inspire the weary

Someday
I want to be beautiful
Without even trying
To be whole
