Pieces of whole

I'm finding myself in this place

The me I've tried to erase

The me I've tried to hide

The me that shows up in the quiet 

She's here now

I won't ignore her this time

Instead I'm shutting you out

So that I can sit quietly with her

And face what I've always tried to ignore

I know it's the only way i'll heal

The only way I can be whole

It's time to mend all the pieces of me

That time once stole.
