Broken

Bruised and Battered strong words that bring about the emotions of defeat. 

 

What if I told you instead it represents strength and empowerment?

 

No one can weather your storm because only you have the power to end it. 

 

Storms of circumstance self-inflicted.

 

We hold the key to change. 

 

I once loved a bad dream that made me feel worthless at times and others like a queen.

 

Oh, a bad dream had me twisted inside could not breathe unless in its company. 

 

Was I so broken that I looked past the insults o physical pain? 

 

So, wrapped up in motivating them to live, I never thought about me. Love, dangerous for all the right reasons, yet I looked past its warning signs.

 

I drank from its flask poison filled with broken.
