MADE OF BROKEN PIECES!!!!


 

I am made of broken pieces

I have been trying to put everything back together but 

Every time I think I am a whole again 

I go back to 2007 when my life was sheared

When my house crumble to my feet and I stood there paralyzed unable to move

My life was stolen from me

My dignity was taken away

All I knew was gone

I am made of broken pieces

I can't put back together 

I am still trying

It's hard to feel a whole when every promise was broken and 

When even with clothes on you feel naked

When you know you have to be strong for the ones who depend on you

I am made of broken pieces

The only way to put them together is to push people away

To be afraid to love 

To say no to joy

To be unhappy 

I am made of broken pieces 

That needs to be a whole again 

Where do I start?

How do you stop being afraid to get hurt again?

How do I begin again when  I am made of broken pieces?
