Beautiful things come broken

Have you ever looked at a cracked screen?
It starts from one place and branches off
Each crack is unique.
Over time as the crack spreads it looks more shattered
Have you ever noticed how every cracked screen is different? They all tell a different story.
Some screens hurt when you touch them but some are smooth
How does something so ruined looks so beautiful? Something so destroyed still  tell a story? How is something so broken still able to inflict pain?
How can something whole, be in pieces?
As I stared at my screen… I realized my thoughts had nothing to do with the cracked screen but everything to do with the girl staring back at me.
