Beautiful Creation

I'm not much of a poetry writer, but I wrote this poem about a year ago, and it is by far my favorite.

Beautiful Creation

I thought I was broken, tumbling
down, down through the dark abyss
to the fiery depths and beyond
Pieces of me are shattered,
tattered and broken, drifting apart
I can't make up my mind
whether or not to forgive him
but I know either way
that the substance my heart
my heart and soul is made of
is stronger, it's resiliency, consistency
much more than he will ever be
I have embraced, celebrated, loved
my fate, my destiny
This alone is the reason
My reason for getting out of bed
every morning instead of pulling 
pulling the covers over my shameful face
Covering and hiding
I am alive for one reason
One reason only
This beautiful creation
This beautiful daughter
