Brenda Chiri Poet Free verse

Where Broken Is Welcomed

Hidden within dark shadow
Wishing for a loving touch
Wanting yet hoping no one see's
A need for something soothing
Of feeling a gentleness 
Pain is all she knows, all she's lived
Daily praying for what will not come 
Knowing her prayers will go 
unanswered
Believing in only cruelty
Savage she knew so very well
cruel bastards she's had aplenty 
Time continues with or without her
So why even try 
Why wish for the impossible
She is a realist and knows she 
is too set in her ways for anything 
other than what she's ever known 
in life, PAIN
Her need grows into one of 
wanting an ending
An end to all that has pledged her
To stop acting like she's not broken
And just drift off into another realm
Where broken is welcomed



This is just a poem please do not read into it what is not there!Maybe in a past life but not this one!;)

Sandra Adams September 11, 2019 at 6:42 PM beautifully penned my friend....as writers much of what we write is fiction, shame you have to explain that...if people read mine and thought they were all about me i would be an anorexic suicidal train wreck, enjoyed this one, good write! Brenda Chiri September 11, 2019 at 6:53 PM LMAO! Girl that is so funny! Yea I have been here since 2005 left for a bit then came back and most here know I usually write from my feelings! But recently I have been trying otherwise! But thank you so much!;)

Susan Ashley August 25, 2019 at 8:05 PM Your intimate poetic portrayal is a beautiful display of your raw emotional artistry, dear sister. I was held spellbound within the poignant magic of this piece. I continue to admire your precious talent, my dear sis. That last line is especially emotive and potent - love it! Your sane, but crazy for your poem, sis ;) Brenda Chiri August 26, 2019 at 7:11 AM Ah my dear sane sister!;) that is so sweet of of! Lol I guess the insane has if nothing else many emotions! HAha thank you so much!;)

Quoth Theraven August 24, 2019 at 12:54 AM Brenda, I like this poem. "Where broken is welcomed" is a place so near and dear. -Richard Brenda Chiri August 24, 2019 at 3:45 AM Richard thank you so very much!;)

John Hamilton August 23, 2019 at 10:36 AM Wonderful write Brenda, sad to see that some people don't understand poetic expression is not always personal, but I get that sometimes it is personal and we would want others to reach out to us to encourage us. Back to the poem...written in a gritty style reflecting what one in that condition truly feels, a work of art! Brenda Chiri August 23, 2019 at 11:28 AM You are so right! I get tired of others thinking it is about me! But as I said in another lifetime but not this one! I have found my happiness! Just a reflection on what once was! Thank you so very much John I so appreciate your kind words!;)
