My heart is broken
It didn't happen all at once
There was a series of cracks and wounds and bruises
Held together by a few desperate strands of self-care
Still, I go on
Until I decide I do not have to live like this
And call out for change
Finally, a doctor hears
Smiling, he grabs my heart
Squeezes it tight
And it shatters
Still beating
