Like A Missing Button

I am who I am,
And that is what I will always be,
I'm quiet, hurt, and empty,
I'm a missing button on a coat,
A smile slowly fading,
A fire in the pouring rain,
A mid spring melting snowflake,
I'm a disaster waiting to strike,
I'm an overturned ship spilling its guts into the sea,
A tattered flag in the dying glory,
A conductor on a train moving slowly with a distant destination,
An anomaly among the anomalies,
I'm a kite in a hurricane,
A broken trolley in an abandoned town,
A dime under the sofa,
A piece of nothing - A piece of everything,
I'm a dime among nickels under the sofa,
A broken trolley to be restored in a historic town,
A kite flying through the open winds,
I'm an anomaly among the anomalies and damn proud of it,
A conductor on a train who knows life is not about the destination, but the journey that takes you there,
A tattered flag that can be sewed in the dying glory that can be mended,
I'm an overturned ship sharing all that it has to share with the world,
I'm a disaster that can be prevented,
A mid spring melting snowflake basking in the sun,
A fire in the pouring rain that never extinguishes,
A smile slowly returning,
I'm a button that broke free,
I'm listening, healing, and empty, ready to be filled,
I am who I am,
And that is what I will always be.

Your title grabbed my curiousity.
I don't think i've ever read a poem that encompassed buttons. Yet, it did what it was supposed to do---it gripped me for the emotional journey.
"A mid spring melting snowflake basking in the sun,
A fire in the pouring rain that never extinguishes,
A smile slowly returning,
I'm a button that broke free,"
That is glorious imagery...
