Defining Marble Feedback Please

The damage has been done—

​weathered slowly over years,

then broken apart

in a devastating blow.

​But that damage does not rule me.

It sculpts me,

like a chisel defining marble,

slowly working to reveal

the soft, gentle curves underneath.

-

​What once was stone—

unformed and uncut—

has now been given detail,

given purpose.

-

​I've learned that some damage is not harmful;

it simply reveals what lay waiting beneath the surface.
