Shattered Pieces
It was like a knife to my heart when you said didn’t love me I was so confused and so hurt I thought I found the one but I guess I was wrong When you said those words my guard went back up I realized you didn’t want to be here So why didn’t you just leave? Why continue...

Shattered Heart
Do you know how it feels to be No one's first priority? The feeling of being alone While your friends are falling in love. The time when you needed support But no one was there to. The anxiety of being accused When you did nothing wrong. The fear of getting rejected By the one you love. The pain...

Elegy of the Shattered Mirror
In halls where silence once held sway, A storm did breach the calm of day. A voice, unbidden, harsh and cold, Unfurled its tale, its judgment bold. It spoke of faults unseen, unfound, Its echoes spread, a bitter sound. No evidence to back its claim, Yet still it sought to tarnish name. The mirror cracked, its truth betrayed, By words that in the shadows...

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; [2] To proclaim the acceptable year of...

Written: July 2, 2025, for contest by: Sara Jama *********************** Ashen, wispy shades flicker awash in caliginous candlelight. His dark eyes peek out from beneath his lustrous, silky black hair, While her azure orbs hide behind long, flowing ebony locks. Bare bodies wobble In hindrance. We can no longer find words. The world...

Shattered Dreams In The Sky
Dreams were shattered like glass shards, As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death. Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards, Extinguished were the candles of their breath. A wife was on her way to meet her spouse, While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad, Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house, As the passengers were destined to embark...

Sanctified and Shattered
There’s a war in my chest with no flags, no uniforms, just angels with tired wings and demons with patient knives. They don’t scream. They whisper. One says "breathe" The other says "break." Most days I wake up somewhere in between— not holy, not hellbound, just surviving. My smile’s rehearsed. My eyes lie like a soldier trained to say “I’m fine” while bleeding inside the armor. The angel tells me, “You’re more than what...

Shattered Coral
Blood of gems crosses the tides a fractured tremor of a weary river fog of marrow diluted by tremors spines chained to the edges of a coral sinking deep stones upon a shore that quivers and the body hears only a wave mute that carves....

Shock! unreal, unshaken disbelief. Choice! the people spoke, democracy breathes. What was promised— a mirage, a lie. False hopes built to divide, now shattered, leaving many wide-eyed, denied, unrecognized, lost in the wreckage of the unexpected. Post 2-0-2-4 A reckoning. A trauma. A truth too sharp to ignore. ...

Broken Glasses and Shattered Hearts
How long does it take to break broken glass until it’s broken beyond repair? How long does it take for avoidant eyes to finally learn to stare? Will it take long enough for glass to pierce my shattered, battered heart, Or eyes that will never look that way from the very start? Does it take a fool or a...

Chaos color blast blue sun is traveling fast past a blood red moon. Creatures scurry for cover on the dark side of summer. Red tailed comets streak Paisley colors growing weak, Midst music, dance, laughs! Night has destroyed amber day; and the world's in disarray. ...
