When We Are Broken
We all break
In different ways.
Some shatter
Like broken glass
The shards of a once-beating
Heart
Strewn everywhere
Unrepairable.
Some bend and twist
Until they eventually
Snap
Unable to stand up
to the pressure.
Some stretch.
They are pulled
In so many different
Directions
That they slowly begin to
Tear
Until,
they are split in two.
Some unravel
Thread by thread
They are torn
Apart
The seams
Ripping
The cloth
Unfurling
Until they are merely
A pile of tangled
Sorrows.
We all break
In different ways.
But yet
We all fall to pieces.
And though we choose
The manor of our own
Destruction,
When we are broken,
Is perhaps
when we at last,
Become whole.
