Broken
you can break a vase,
you can glue it back together,
but It will never be the same.
You can break a bone,
it will heal,
but it will always be more fragile.
You can rip a sheet of paper,
you can tape it back together,
but it will never be perfect.
You can break a piece of lead,
you can get more,
but some will never come back.
You can break a computer,
then fix it,
but it will still have a glitch somewhere.
You can break happiness,
and sometimes fix it,
but some will always be lost.
You can break confidence,
you can grow it back,
but some of the seeds wont grow.
You can break a mind,
it can heal,
but it will always have cracks.
You can break a heart,
it can heal,
but it will always have flaws.
You can break a soul,
it can heal,
but it will be forever changed.
You can break a person,
but no matter how hard you try,
they will not come back the same person.
they will never,
ever,
be the same.
