Broken people
Broken people, broken things,
Shine and glitter in the light.
The greatest miracles to be seen,
Is what God can accomplish with the broken by His might.
For from great sorrow can come repentance,
And transformation from tragedy.
In great mercy, Love is given,
And those in chains are set free.
Free from their past, their scars,
The things they wish most to forget.
In acceptance of this fresh new start,
Joy, hope, and goodness spark to life again.
Beating hearts, breathing bodies,
Dry bones who think that they live.
Will see that they were only dying slowly,
When they are broken by their sin.
In that moment at rock bottom,
If they look up and lift their eyes.
Upon the Savior they shall gaze,
and discover the mystery of the Christ.
That sometimes the wealthiest men have nothing
And that those who see have no sight.
That Sometimes to be fixed you must be broken,
and to truly live you must die.

I am junior in college working on a degree in psychology and also on Commissioning into the military as an officer.. Since I was a little kid I have always enjoyed writing but everyone in my family has always told me it would never be practical enough to sustain me and that I need to find something that pays bills. so I did, but I still love writing and enjoy it,which is why I enjoy this site so much. In the midst of all the boring practical stuff I'm always doing this site gives me the opportunity to take a break from all that and become the unpractical, fun, creative soul I once was.
