Poem
You walk ahead during your day Never looking down at your feet Until you hear a crunch The sound of broken glass You never noticed me But this is me This broken glass I’ve been dropped Thrown Tossed Slipped Almost caught Been put back together Many, many times Just when the glue sets When the bond becomes strong I find myself falling again Towards the pavement I see it happening All in slow motion I know it’s gonna happen Everytime I get glued back together No one has ever been gentle enough Knows and understands That I am and have been broken Fragile Handle with care Be gentle No one understands this And just does what they may Placed in careless hands Angry hands Spiteful hands Hands that try to care Hands that want to care But after so much glue After being broken so many times There are pieces missing Pieces lost Pieces too broken I will never be the same again Whole again I am a lost cause Don’t bother trying Another crunch of your shoe Walking on this brokenness that I am Another piece gone Don’t bother picking me up Sweep me out of the way Into the trash Where I can finally belong Accept being broken Accept there are pieces missing Accept that I can’t be fixed This brokenness that I am
