The potential
Like a toy with broken pieces
I am scattered
Left to be tossed away
Someone seen something I couldn't
Potential
Pick me up and put me back together
Pulled me close to their heart
Smiled and hugged me tighter
Shared their warmth with me
Loved even when I didn't
A feeling I couldn't give myself
Being cold for so long it was tough to unthaw
Shield of Ice melted down to water
Broken toy trash I was
Golden treasure I am
I am scattered
Left to be tossed away
Someone seen something I couldn't
Potential
Pick me up and put me back together
Pulled me close to their heart
Smiled and hugged me tighter
Shared their warmth with me
Loved even when I didn't
A feeling I couldn't give myself
Being cold for so long it was tough to unthaw
Shield of Ice melted down to water
Broken toy trash I was
Golden treasure I am

I admire how deep you went in describing the depth of your situation. The emotion pours out beautifully.
