Notes About The Poem
[ hear the song ]
Listen to poem:
Forged by Fractures
drifting in shadows
my shape bends but won't stay there
not certain not sure
each choice cuts a new pathway
as tension reshapes my face
Portraits drawn in haste
show lines that crack in the light
mirrors deceive me
a single doubt can splinter
the vision of what I am
I hunger for self
woven stronger than the past
stitched from fierce longing
yet daylight breaks the seams loose
the threads unravel in dust
I walk in between—
torn by the pull of old ways
and of what may come
the tension hums within me
a bridge across fear and change
In the scars I learn
each fracture is a teacher
I rise by failing
resilience is hammered out
confidence shaped in the flame
I bend, yet I stand
each break recasts me anew
the glass learns to shine
Through trials I claim my form
becoming what I must be
