Broken


Shatered

Beaten

Broken

But slowly gluing myself together

My whole life has been full of love and hate

I focused more on the hate

Taking those that loved me for granted

I allowed those of hate to break me down

To the smallest and worst of myslef

I just recently realized I do not deserve hate

I deserve to be put back together

It will take time

Slowly

Glued

Taped

Whatever it takes to not be broken

To be whole

Only with time

Time

To not be broken again
