We buckle and bend,
Our structure diminished by
Atrophy and apathy,
Slowly eroding away
The wholeness.

And yet in the differences
New things arise,
New life!

Shoots of green and gold
Violet and blue and orange
And all the colors are so strange,
New shades, something new,
Life filling in the gaps,
The experience of breaking
Facilitating the resurrection.

The only beauty I see is in broken people,
The flowers grow through the cracks.
The final line of this poem was actually one half conversation from someone else, kirsty in fact. She has a version that incorporates the same line and theme, since we generated it together :)
