i am broken, i am lonely, i am incomplete
tarnished, ruined,
a single puzzle piece sitting in the rain-drenched gutter
i am broken, i am flawed,
do not touch me, i implore you
lest you dirty yourself with me
i am broken, i am betrayed,
an imperfect rose, petals rendered and torn
hiding among the delicate blooms you so deserve
i am broken, i am shattered,
a shard of bloodied glass clinging desperately to my frame
hoping that i will be able to see the whole picture clearly once more
i am broken, i am crippled
shot down to unforgiving earth under the skies i used to soar
wings crushed, wet with tears and the rain of my despair
i am broken, i am fallen, i am ravaged, i am pain
i am misery, i am silence, i am torn, i am shame
and i am broken.
