Broken

In shadows cast by tender years, A sad childhood's tale appears, A heart that once knew innocence, Now haunted by its recompense. The echoes of laughter once filled the air, Now replaced by a silence, heavy and rare, A family's embrace turned cold and distant, Leaving a wounded soul, frail and nonexistent. A canvas painted with memories bittersweet, Innocence shattered, a loss so complete, The bonds that should've held strong and tight, Now fractured, scattered, lost in the night. Discarded, like remnants of a forgotten dream, In the sea of abandonment, adrift it seems, But within these scars, a strength takes root, A spirit resilient, though pain's pursuit. For broken wings still yearn to fly, Through stormy nights and tear-streaked sky, A heartache's fire fuels a will to mend, To find solace in wounds that time will tend. Though family's love may have gone awry, A broken childhood won't define the sky, With every sunrise, a chance to renew, To heal, to grow, to build life anew. Remember, dear soul, you're not alone, In your journey to heal, to find a home, For in the brokenness, you'll find your worth, And rise from the ashes, a phoenix rebirthed.
