Rebecca Larkin Poet Free verse

I Am Not Broken

I wish to clear things up,
In this culture;
Of labels, names,and tags

I wish to clarify,
that I am not;
broken or damaged

Saying so, would imply
That I can be "fixed"
But that is a false
assuption...

I am not broken,
I am destroyed-
beyond repair

I am nothing more,
than a piece of junk 
awaiting the trash pick up

Waiting
to be placed
in the landfill where I belong

I am not broken,
I cannot be repaired
only thrown away...
