Glue Her Heart

Her heart has turned to glass Broken shards that stab her from within Lost in her sea of sorrow She hardly feels the tears pouring from her soul Melancholy reigns, marring her mind She drowns day after day in her ocean of worries Smiling, when there's no end to her problems To whom can she open up? Who really knows her real state? To whom can she share her regrets with? Who will pull her up from this dark depression? This chasm that seems to consume her? This chaos that runs amok, ruining her? This speechless pain that silences every other thought? Who can cure her heart? Glue those shattered pieces back into one whole? Take control of her lachrymose life? Comfort her, hold her when she needs it the most? WHO...? Is there no hope? Is there no answer to her cry? Is there no rope for her to hold on? Why does life have to be so hard? SHE LAUGHS...

Such is the painful description of a glass heart shattered.. it should have a place in a psychological text book based on searing accuracy. A wonderful poem, Joanna :)

Hi Joanna, so happy to see you back after a long gap. Your diction and your choice of words are so reflective of the angst and anguish she feels. There are moments when our thoughts run amok, when we feel that there is no one to stay with us during severe trials of life. Even more painful is the thought that there is no one to understand us. She too feels in a similar way and she wonders from which corner help shall come to her. A very poignant poem. Have a great weekend dear Joanna.

Dear Joanna, I loved your poem and your imagery of a heart turned to glass and the struggle with inner turmoil is hauntingly beautiful. Your words capture the raw essence of pain and the longing for someone to understand. Yet, amidst the darkness, there's a powerful moment of defiance in laughter. Joanna, this is a poem of resilience within us all. - Blessings, Daniel
