And the broken hid behind well crafted
smiles, they hoped to stand with the innocent, the ones that beamed from where they stood as they called a witness to the stand.
The witness said oh judge can’t you see, yes look at them smile and laugh just like they do with me.
Objection, declared the lawyer of the opposing side; for do you not see the tears that rim their eyes.
Now another witness was then called to the stand but this witness was not of the broken side and she promised to speak the truth and in honesty
she said, I watch them fade away losing them selves throughout the day.
The judge then brought the suspects to the stand and the suspects told their story, the beginning to the end. they declared not innocence but they spoke up to defend.
You watched us  fade away, you watched it day by day, but don’t you see broken is not bad it’s merely healing, merely changing, yes becoming.
Objection! Said the lawyer once again, overruled declared the judge, continue as you were
we were changing for the better because now we will be stronger smarter braver and happier
Objection! Overruled!
We may have sat  alone we may have lost ourselves but can’t you see broken isn’t bad it’s merely changing.
The suspects went back to their chairs as a judge told the crowd,
be back within the hour and my decision will be made.
So the hour past and the people took their seats. The judge raised her gavel and declared the suspects innocent because once she had been broken, once she had sat alone, and because she knew broken wasn’t guilty but the other way around.The blame should not be placed because broken isn’t bad but merely changing. The crowd was in an uproar, the suspect smile real. And The opposition finally found the broken wasn’t bad but merely changing.

a player on the losing team
a actor in a worn down theatre
A singer with a tearful song
One person playing the game of life

Dancing on a broken stage
A piece with  no puzzle
A dreamer in a forgotten dream
One person playing the game of life

A lesson with no one to learn
A school without students
A book with no words
One person playing the game of life

A heart with nobody to love
A window boarded up
A room with no door
One person playing the game of life

a player on the losing team
a actor in a worn down theatre
A singer with a tearful song
One person playing the game of life

They want focus
Despise distraction
As they talk I
Can’t focus and why
I notice the moon
In the bright sunny sky
As they explain
I hear what they
Would never hear
A birds first song
They don’t listen
But it’s sounds prolong

They praise leaders
Ignore the silent
As they take charge
I secretly strategize
A voice of knowledge
In silence it hides
As they command
There’s things o would say
But they lead as they should
If only we could do it a different way

The distracted can see
The silent can speak
But society wants focus
Society wants loud
They despise distracted
And ignore the silent

The rain will fall and I will dance
The thunder will rumble and I will sing
The lightning will strike and I will shine

They told us no one can win this war
So
We won the battle that no one could win
And we showed them we were fighters

They told us nobody could ever love the unlovable
So
We cared for the uncared for
And we loved the ones no one else would love

They told us we would never look good enough
So
We acted beautiful
And we felt beautiful
We would never look good enough
But we would always act better

They told us we would never be smart enough
So
We studied hard we did our best
And we were smarter than enough

They told us the scared could never be brave
So
We looked our fear in the eye and we met it face to face and we were scared but we would not run

They told us we would never be enough and that we could never do what we were born to do
They told us and they were wrong

People say don’t compare yourself to others but  I stand next strength and I stand next to beauty

People say do your best and that’s enough, but I will never be enough, cause I  vocalize with a singer and play with an athlete

People say you need to believe in yourself but I live  with popular and I live with leaders

People say confidence is key to hiding your fear but I sit next to credence and I converse with bravery

No cares
One chance
Two hearts
Three hurt
Four broken
Five healed
Six far
Seven near
Eight truths
Nine lies
Ten wrong
Nine right
Eight speak
Seven silent
Six seen
Five ignored
Four supported
Three alone
Two loved
One known
