"Broken"

You saw me once

Interested in my appearance.

I was alone and scared

For no one had ever

Approached me with such inquiry.

As you reached out, you had asked,

"Who are you?"

I began to tell you my story,

The tales that no one ever knew.

I was a drama magnet, filled with pain

I weeped and I cried. I fought and I pained.

I gave you all that I was, hoping for you to complete me.

Instead, you had tuned out, never heard me scream.

As you turned away in disgust

I caught sight of you, awing at a better story than I.

I weeped again, and added more to my pages.

I had hoped you were the one,

To show me what it meant to be treasured,

To be called yours.

But yet again, I wait

For that one person

To judge not and pick me above all others

Despite all my pain and hurt,

And change my ending

For I was a book titled "Broken".
