Broken | Wattys 2016

Forever Changed

Darkness fills my heart

and soul

Numbness blocks out

the pain but

Also the joy

I am broken

beautiful

like shards of glass

My raw emotions

can cut into

the numbness

and tear it away

Make you feel

your feelings

not just stuff

them away

Beautifully broken

looking at a broken world

Beautiful

in its own broken way

I need not fixing

for I embrace it

everyday

feel my raw emotions

I have repaired myself

I am not the same

I can't go back

to the way it was

before I experienced pain

I can't recall a time

before pain

I can't remember

what I was like

My personality

was I meeker or

bolder

more innocent

and kind

How can I go back

to how I was

if I don't remember

what I was like

The pain has

changed me beautifully

I've learned to

love harder

live more freely

And now for

the first time

in an eternity

I feel hope

more profound

and strong

than any other

emotion

I relax as I

let it fill

my soul

replacing the darkness

with light

As I realize

I am forever changed
