Patchwork Quilt

I am a patchwork quilt.
I have been stitched together with love, torn by heartache.
Each piece of me is taken from places I've been, people I've met, songs that have healed me, stories that have touched my soul, jokes that have warmed me, and tears I've feared would drown me. 
Every experience has added to my vibrancy, my unique patterning.
I have wear and tear, I have newer pieces sewn in that have patched up where I have been neglected or manhandled by others, but this only adds to my character. 
I am worthless to many, and priceless to some.
I am capable of giving great comfort; and despite my ability to survive hardships, I am still soft to the touch. 
I am a work of art.
I cannot be remade in the exact same way; and this makes me irreplaceable to the world.
