Broken

Broken

I am broken shattered into pieces that just haven’t fallen apart yet
Cracked throughout and possibly beyond repair
A strain beyond support and a weight upon my shoulders
I am sundered and beaten and dashed upon rocks

I seem to stand against the wind but this is a lie and deception
I just do not have the strength to fall and collapse is beyond my ability
I am too stupid to know my own defeat and blind to my own surrender
I go on gently moving slowly through the day and ease into the night

I am shattered through and through a puzzle work in glass
I am devastated a land sown with salt and poisoned wells
A mirage of my former self and an involuntary lie I am
I am a wave upon the rocks dissolved and dispersed

Broken I am and shattered no sense of self untouched
Pain exists that words cannot describe
Shattered I am and broken in ways unbound
Words are lost and meaning cannot be found

I am broken and lost without will to find my way
I scintillate as light upon me shines and illuminate my cracks
A long wind blows and drives me along a path of stones
Pain exists and seems my endless home
