For Women & Girls ONLY | PIECES by Devorah Schwartz

This video was created in partnership with Michal Hartman and Shalom Task Force,Inc (STF) “Because you may feel broken but you are beautiful” Have you ever watched someones life fall apart, shattering into a million pieces. And then despite all the pain and suffering, they picked themselves back up, and took each broken piece and made themselves into a work of art. I’ve watched many people around me, whom I love dearly, have had their lives fall apart and crack and in that moment I think they felt that there was no way they would ever be the same. And slowly, slowly I’ve watched them rise up out of the ashes, gathering the shards, and put all the jagged pieces back together. And when I look at them I don’t see the sharp edges, I don’t see the scars, I see the beautiful mosaic that they have become. And maybe they can’t ever return to the person they were, but that doesn’t mean the person they are now is not an even more beautiful soul who’s heart is bigger, more humble, more empathetic, more kind, and more understanding. This song and project has been very emotional and healing for me. And I hope its message can give hope and inspiration to all those who need it. Everyones pain and situation is different, but human suffering whether emotional, physical or mental is universal. This video was made possible by Michal Hartman of Vision & Hart. Michal’s creativity and artistic vision is truly remarkable. Thank you for all your hard work.

Somebody you used to be Who knows if she’s ever coming back But I wonder when I’m looking at you If you see what I see Or only the cracks Chorus: Cuz you may feel broken But you are beautiful And you may feel weathered But you are wiser now Some scars are hidden But do you know who you are? Just picking the pieces up And making you a work of art Just picking the pieces up  Just picking the pieces up To Do your best can feel pathetic When all the world has front row seats Hear their thoughts though no one said it You feel them judging silently You landed on the path that’s jagged And others cruise the parts you climb You took a space of desolation And painted beauty every time Somebody you used to be Who knows if she’s ever coming back But I wonder when I’m looking at you If you see what I see Or only the cracks Chorus: Bridge Somehow your story created Some kind of mosaic Fragments of pain And traces of tears But the details in it Nothing short of exquisite You chose to stare down ruins and wreckage And leave a master piece right there. Chorus: Cuz you may feel broken But you are beautiful And you may feel weathered But you are wiser now Some scars are hidden But I hope you know who you are! Just picking the pieces up And making you a work of art Just picking the pieces up  Just picking the pieces up
