true value

not a mistake but a given
that should have taken out
the little parts you try to hide
yet remain on display

integral to your being
important to hold together
before shattering all
this frustrating reality

all miracles depend on
false hopes rising
above the last thought
at the riverbed below

dive down inside
correct the current
get back on course
acquire redemption

turn what was seen
as a deterrent of you
into the defining attribute
that makes you

more important than you think
