Reading random poems today
Everyone claims they feel so broken
But no,
Those are just lies.

Deep in my heart
I know I see
Who's really broken
And who's not.

Maybe you really feel this way
But life has not thrown you
Buckets of icy water
Leaving you to freeze alone.

You don't know what
Being broken
Really feels like
Do you?

Because you haven't lost someone so close to you
That death
Led a domino
Crashing on everything around.

Or anything that's swung your life
Like a pendulum
And the aftermath
Keeps going on.

If such things never did haunt you before,
Then no,
That's just the verge of brokenness.
You've haven't faced the magnitude.
