Broken

 I sit here on my knees

with my arms wrapped around me

holding on tight

not letting go

to the pull of your hands

 

my head hung low

with my eyes shut tight

my chin begins to quiver

 

the first tear begins to fall

and I fight hard for no more

you whisper in my ear

it’s ok to cry do not hold back

 

the second one starts to fall

and you tell me again

it’s ok to cry do not fight

 

they start to stream down my face

as I try with my might

to hold them all back

to bottle them up

for I don’t want you to see

 

you sit in front of me

you wipe those tears

and remind me that it’s ok

 

I look up and I see you there

“I am broken”

“You are just fine”

“You see that I have broke”

“You are a good girl

and you are not broke

you are healing and growing

but, you are not broke”

 

as I continue to cry

I let those words sink in

I am not broke

I am healing

I am growing

I am becoming a better person

Thank You

Can You Hear Me

  The tall dark shadows loom above Looking up to find that peace Lost in the world Standing alone Calling out “can anyone hear me” No reply ...
