Emotional Brokenness

Broken like a cup or vase
the emotional self also can break
it's not seen broken as clearly
but feels like an emotional earthquake

So many causes brings such effect
life's traumas causes our cracks
healing seems so far away
meantime we have many lacks

From this brokenness of spirit
comes to take us down
leaving strands within our souls
weak and breathless ready to drown

We cry out for deliverance
despite what we feel inside
seeking to made newly whole
jump on Harley enjoy the ride

Speeding down around the track
emotionally raw going round the bend
wanting to see that winning flag
in one piece reaching the end
