The Beauty of Brokenness

In our humanity we are frail
so weak and vulnerable in our state
that it doesn't take much to break
these brittle bodies we so rate

There inside of us emotionally mixed
so prone to getting really broken
feelings we have of every type
raindrops fall inside really soaking

In this brokenness there is beauty
not always very easy to see
but strength is evidently renewed
when the break sets us emotionally free

This healing comes when we reach bottom
of ourselves letting all emotions go
only then can the breaks mend
allows joints to fit like so

This is a picture of real beauty
bringing strength to where once was weak
allowing the inner self to be renewed
pointing upwards to the highest peak
