Little Broken Thing
little broken things
scattered on the floor
shards of glass and porcelain
and a broken little door
the little broken things
are what make up little me
I wonder if I were whole
how normal would I be?
little broken wings
on a dainty butterfly
she tries to fly away
but never touches the sky
she’s tried to piece together
her little severed shards
but fitting them together
is like building a house of cards
a little broken razor
to a skinny little arm
breaking is a little easier
with a little past of harm
little broken things
is all I’ll ever be
because if I were never broken
I wouldn’t be little me

Wonderful, FairyPerson. And so true - we are who we are because of where we've been.
One thing in the spirit of honest critique - watch the consistency of your caps, particularly Is x 2.
You're doing wonderfully this year! So very impressive!

Ahavati, thank you for stopping by, I am always open to critiques and I appreciate you pointing that out :) mistakes make our brain grow as they say. Your kind words mean a lot to me, coming from you!

Makes total sense of that oft feeling of having to 'hold ourselves together' - lovely penned.
