Notes About The Poem

 

I Wanna Feel Unbroken

Don’t wanna feel the pain of missing yesterday
When I would see your face across the room
Don’t wanna feel the emptiness inside
Don’t wanna know another day of gloom

I want to know that you are waiting for me
That you are home and I am minutes away
Don’t wanna face what the mirror knows
Don’t wanna say what I have to say

I wanna feel unbroken
I want to be the person that I used to be
I wanna feel unbroken
I just don’t understand the man that is now me

I wanna feel unbroken
Don’t want to hide from people everywhere I go
I wanna feel unbroken
I want to know the happiness that I used to know

Don’t wanna cry each time I sit and eat alone
Conversing with a tired and empty chair
Don’t wanna go to bed with no shared dream
To wake and realize that you’re not there

And how can I be whole when I have lost my heart
And how can I go on, a shattered man
I want to feel the sun shine once again
Don’t wanna feel the only way I can

I wanna feel unbroken

Nine Dragons September 19, 2026 at 7:21 PM A torrent of expression that transports the listener to overlooking shores and reaches out their grasping hand. A beautiful read.
