Broken people

What if it's all a lie?

This concept that we have...that everyone who is broken, is eventually fixed...is a terrible one.
We have this fairytale fantasy in our brains that somewhere out there, there's person who is just as broken as you, and someday you'll come together and fix each other's brokenness.
What if that's not true? What if some people out there...are just meant to stay broken?
Broken people feel differently than others, broken people love differently than others, we see the world in a much different light.
But sometimes, there isn't a fairytale ending.
Those stories we were read as children, stories of knights and princesses...stories of being rescued and made complete by another human being who just "gets" you...they were lies.
Not everything has a happy ending.
Sometimes you stay single.
Sometimes you stay broken.
Maybe, sometimes, two broken people, are just that. Two broken people. Not destained to fall in love, not trying to fix eachother. Not two broken halves trying to make one whole....no. Just two. Broken. People.

I think normal and unbroken people will never understand what is mean to be broken. Our lives are form how were born how our parents treat us . Some conditions are very heavy to fix it. Some peoplease create own reality to survive normal world and normal people. Some people are born with autism or other disorders. We are broken but maybe that's our advantage. Great writing my friend.

You are right, some people just stay broken, but many, many others with time can improve their lives. The broken people I have known, have shown great courage and after a period of time and hard work turn their lives round. I don't think others can mend broken people, they have to want to do it themselves. Your poem made me reflect on some I have known. Thank you.

I often wonder if anybody gets anybody lol. Jim Morrison once said that we are looking for something that has already found us. Anyhow, ok poem nevertheless
