Broken

Broken My rag doll had no arms I on the streets, no home a rainy cold day an old man, a stranger hugged me no legs on the streets, discarded he fed me broken bones, penniless shared his little heart with me somehow we survived I have two children now they adore him grandpa

I love this, Aurore; a poem which touches the heart. In life I have learned that one must never throw in the towel; somehow we'll cope and survive. ~ Regards, my friend // paul

There is a beat or maybe offbeat to your unique poetry, bohemian natured perhaps. The words stunning to feel your life, Aurore. Sad but true, all for a greater reason. Enjoyed your experience, ~Anaya

This is such a moving write. The way you’ve written this and how it flows so seamlessly with excellent storytelling truly touched my heart. Love this. And a kind hand and gesture could do wonders, such beautiful stories need to be read and told more often. Soul warming really

A powerful emotion envelopes the reader--for every line conveys the pain of being without basics of life. I like the ending that conveys--one can overcome it all and step into a better tomorrow. So well done!

Your words run me through a gauntlet of emotions. I shed tears for the hardship and struggle but want to stand up and cheer for the last two lines. A powerful poem.
