Everyone Is Broken

Nothing left to hide Everything is crystal clear I must sound absurd How does one confide In shattered mirrors held dear Using only words Why do I reside In broken hearts filled with fear Cage confines the bird Take it all in stride Love will resurrect good cheer Mend my broken world

This is lovely yoni, wether its you or whoever. The coming free and healing is a really nice end and inspiring for anyone who's been there. Sally

Excellent writing, Yoni! Love the uplifting last verse. Love and time will "mend (your) broken world." How true! Love, Carolyn

Stagnant in its truth, but so insightful and raw. "Mend my broken world" is just excruciating. Best wishes, Sara

Interesting and thought provoking series. The perspective on life in the last stanza is one that we can all learn from. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Keep on writing. Karen

There are times when we all feel bare, with "nothing left to hide." Indeed, this feeling is like a cage that confines the heart. Your writing is outstanding! Love, Carolyn
