Poem | Broken

By Breanna Prater

Broken.

We are all

Broken.

No matter who you are,

No matter what you do,

No matter what life has thrown at you,

One thing remains true:

You are broken.

Do not fear,

For I am broken too.

Do not be afraid

Because broken does not mean useless,

Nor does it mean unlovable.

It just means

Human.

In this we are all the same

Because it is something none of us can control.

We are all broken

From the time we leave the womb,

From the time we take our first breath,

We cried.

Perhaps that is why newborns cry,

Because they see how truly broken every one of us is.
