Broken

How quickly the world can seem cold and unforgiving 

How quickly things go from bearable to unbearable

How quickly one's confidence fades and shatters into the oblivion

How great that pain can become

How great that loss can truly feel 

How great that choice you made or didn't make becomes

How hard it is to watch others who seem happy and not feel envious of them

How hard it is to even remember what a happy moment felt like

How hard it is to care about much of anything anymore

Sadly, one thing is now finally clear in my life

Sadly, one word will constantly define me as a person now 

Sadly, this one word, to a tee, defines the type of man that I have now become

Broken
