Bent Not Broken
That girl that you see everyday
Yea, you know her very well
Her personality is very colorful and unique
Always full of life, presumed to be everyone’s favorite
In fact, she was once HIS favorite
Lots of flowers and lovely dates
After a while, what she thought was love turned into hate
Degraded, beaten, and bruised
She wants to leave
Lost in lust, not love, she can’t see what she needs
He was getting worse, but no one else could see
Day by day, it’s “I’m okay, I’m fine!”
Though her conscience asked her “But what will you be in due time?”
She thought to herself that she would be dead
Soon after, she decided to kneel by her bed
She closed her eyes and bowed her head
She asked with tears in her eyes, “God, why does he treat me like this? What did I do wrong?”
He answered, “You are perfect, my child! Trouble doesn’t last always. Remember that you are bent, not broken.”
Bent not broken, what does He mean?
After hours of thinking, she finally gathered her things
Out the door she went, without her ring
She starts a new life, a better one at that
Months later she is doing great, even though before she thought she would never reach her fate
Now with her new life that she once thought was his
Bent but not broken is what she is
