I am an egg;
I am a cracked egg;
I have to stay away;
I don't want others to see my cracks.
I am a cracked egg;
I have no choice;
I have to protect my cracks;
I can't let others touch my vulnerable cracks.
I wasn't born a cracked egg;
I am an Omega-3 egg;
Created with a special purpose,
to be more nutritious,
more healthy, and more valuable!
Yet my shell is much thinner,
I needed to be handled
with care.
My master wants to preserve me,
make me into a salty egg.
I was dropped inside a glass jar;
I crashed into other eggs...
I felt my shell cracking slowly,
there is nothing I can do
to stop it!
Why? Why me?
I used to be worth 3 times more than other eggs;
Now I am worthless,
just soaking in salty
water,
waiting to be throw away!
I am not ready to ask -
Why not me?!
After what seemed forever,
the master opened the jar,
carefully scooped me out,
gently wiped me clean,
and
deliberately placed me on
a carton.
I don't understand it;
there are other eggs in
the jar,
but I was the one chosen!
My master started taking pictures of me,
focusing on my cracks,
saying how beautiful they
are.
I am just a cracked egg;
I was chosen for a special purpose;
I don't need to hide my cracks now;
Everyone can see through my cracked shell.
I don't mind it anymore;
hopefully they will learn
as I did,
to see from my master's
eyes:
the beauty and usefulness
of a cracked egg!
