Broken

Published by Family Friend Poems January 3, 2025 with permission of the Author.

Broken in spirit. Broken in heart.
Broken in pieces just falling apart.
Emotional pain. Deep in despair.
No one to love and no one who cares.

Overwhelmed in sadness. Life out of control.
Feeling empty and lost down to my soul.
Tired of the struggle. I'm not that tough.
Always feeling like I'm not good enough.

Imprisoned by fear, I'm ready to fall.
Feeling forgotten and feeling small.
Caught in the middle in a storm of pain,
I search for the sun, but am lost in the rain.

I need to change something, but I don't know how,
because it's hard to focus on the here and now.
I need to take care and try to be brave
and not dwell on the past mistakes that I've made.

Being broken and wounded shatters my heart,
but its part of my story that I need to restart.
God, help me to find strength to keep on going,
and I'll take a deep breath and keep on coping.
