Broken 9/11/09

Broken is the path that I have walked,
lost are the things that I never really had.
Broken are the dreams that still remain,
wrong are the ways I had been living.
Broken was the heart of such a lost soul,
changed is the life of the willing person.
Broken are the thoughts I no longer have,
healed is the wound that left such a scar.

A long hard road has been traveled and much pain inflected. A sad beginning with a happy ending. My kind of poem, Well written, wonderful flow and imagery. Mac

I loved the beginning, because we are all broken. I loved the ending because we can all be made whole. Excellent write from beginning to end.
