All the broken people

All the broken people
I look around and see so many
Then I realize I am one 
Of the broken people
All the broken people
Looking and waiting 
For answers that don’t seem to appear
Waiting to be heard
Waiting to be seen
Waiting for an answer
All the broken people
Needing to be put together
One more time
Or 
Maybe 
Some of us broken people
Don’t remember a time 
Of not being broken
Wondering
What it feels like to not be
Broken.
