The Broken Are Strong
me
alone
forgotten
broken
why do you care
I'm nothing new
nothing strange
I'm just a girl
broken by a lover
loving despite the truth
he's dead and here I am
you stand there looking
questioning who I am
take all your pretty words
walk out that door now
I don't need you
nor do i need your protection
I know who I am
I know the mistakes you think i made
I'm not some little girl
my truth is beyond you
yesterday I was whole
today i stand broken
but I still have my strength
I have wisdom beyond your measure
just leave now
don't be a fool
I'm still standing for a reason
I'm stronger than you all
