~I AM BROKEN~

My heart is beating hysterically!

My inner spirit is banging on the wall.

And my soul is jumping on Oprah’s sofa.

I can’t believe I actually did it!

It felt great!

The few moments while it lasted…

I felt like I was in a corridor of heaven but now… I AM BROKEN!

 

So don’t waste your sticks and stones.

Like walls of old in stories told

I have taken it all.

A shadow-less rouge is what I am.

 

I tried and tried and tried and tried

And tried some more but now I’m tired.

I can’t keep doing this anymore…

I can’t keep thinking that today is the day.

 

So I seal away my hurt and pain.

It pains my soul to seal my hurt

So razor blades are my self-defense…

 

Stainless… Not even the bright red rosary of my blood leaves a mark.

And even if it did, that wouldn’t matter because, I AM BROKEN!

 

Broken like early reflections of faces in awe from Déjà Vu.

Broken like the light that shines the brightest after it’s ripped by a cloud…

Do you see a silver lining?

 

Let’s skip the fables of D.I.D’s and knights in shining armor.

I’ve got a couple of unresolved issues that need clearing up…

I wrote this piece for you…

You know who you are… Wherever you are…

What do I got to do to meet you again?
