To be human
is to be broken.
Shattered by life,
misunderstood.
We all have hopes
we don't dare name.
We all have dreams
we don't dare share.
Ninety-nine percent
we don't understand
our own selves.
And so often
we hide behind shells.
To be human
is to be broken.
So stand up tall
broken and all.
Be broken.
Accept it.
And accept others,
beautifully broken,
just as you.

Every human is broken, but you choose whether to live boldly broken or timidly broken.
