Broken to Healing

May 29, 2018

When I was broken

I felt no one understood me

All alone in pieces

I could never learn to be

Then I discovered poems

A way to provide release

Letting my emotions show

Finally brought me peace

Then I got to reading

About what others had been through

Verse by broken verse

Of people saying what was true.

Others had been through

The same stuff as me

They too found comfort

In lines of poetry
