"A Broken Heart"

My family depicts a broken heart,

But it is my heart that has shattered,

My heart that fought to become happy,

My heart that truly mattered.

A broken heart can never be fixed; only strengthened,

And I wonder why I have a difficult life,

How I'm always forcing happiness into my heart,

Actual feelings of hard work, pain, and strife.

I make myself cry,

A broken heart not healed,

I ponder my former thoughts,

That have tightly shut and sealed.

But if I died a smart girl,

Causing her own pain every day,

I would have some form of life,

Where I would surely be okay.

I can't control others; only myself,

And I made many mistakes I will forever regret,

But a broken heart remains sealed,

And to never forget.
