Broken but not dead
Don't try to fix what isn't broken!
Don't say that I am,
or how I should organize my life.
you speak of things of which you don't know the truth.
Through the cracks in my soul, I fell
Have seen and discovered.
The cracks that have arisen,
by people trying to fix that,
which was never broken in the first place.
But now, can't be healed anymore.
Because yes, you broke me
And through those cracks I live,
In a landscape, nobody knows,
nobody but me,
Just don't try fix me,
For I know this will come as a shock;
I happen to love it here.

I adore this, CN
Self love and knowing what makes ourselves happy is often tricky to determine and I believe, utterly priceless when we do. Even if it isn't perfect.... it's knowing that's half the battle...
Your phrasing always blows me away... such a home run with that last line... poetic gold 🥇
Ty for sharing,

Sometimes it may seem as if someone's broken, but in a different light might not be the case at all. Could be described as a journey of self-discovery, which doesn't immediately means someone's broken. May need a little time. Self-love doesn't just happen, at least not for most. It's often something that needs to grow. If we want to grow we need healing (from that feeling came this poem).
So I agree, doesn't have to be prefect at all (might never be perfect, cause we are humans;-)
Always really appreciate your responses! They add something, it is food for the thoughtful, so thank you for that. Xx
