“Broken Things”
by A_F_R_O_W
She
writes bestsellers,
with broken wings.
Scores smash hits,
with broken strings.
Ends
unfinished symphonies,
with distinct ease…
for,
she
finds value,
in broken things.
She sees beauty,
in the ash.
Captures Monet,
in the splash.
Slows down time,
whilst others, dash…
Hears, new Hope,
when dull
bells ring.
She seals
broken promises.
Heals hearts,
that have been misled.
Reveals Truth,
that’s resident,
in oil-slick lies,
that have been said.
Why
she does
these timeless feats,
for no reward,
no need, for treats…
How
she renders
Souls complete,
with quiet Grace,
always, discreet..
… is because
she, once, was there..
Fragile.
Vulnerable.
Bare.
It’s because,
she, once, knew fear..
at a level,
so severe…
…and,
it’s this,
which spurs her on,
so that pain will hurt no-one.
She’s survived.
She’s battled through.
Shielded arrows,
suffered slings….
…and so…
if Life
does this to you,
she’ll be broken,
for your stings.
