I, Broken

I'm broken, shattered

Beaten, tattered

Weary, beaten

Poorly treated

Tears staining the earth I tread, 

Graceless, I'm fed up to the brink

of insanity

With these pointless words.

The thoughts like a tidal wave

Starving me of all I need

The emotions swirling faster than Dorothy's tornado

Mind pulsing

Heart shattered

Soul running scenarios

Nothing as it should be and everything out of place

I keep walking forward.

Fear 

I no longer fear, for there is nothing to fear

Ravings as a madman

A plan formulates in my mind

As shattered and broken as it may be

I keep walking

Carrying my soul's powdered pieces

My heart's exploding emotions

I found my reason to walk.

I tread on

See a face

An actual face is revealed

And then there's hope.

And a reason to fight.

I gain strength

I tread faster, harder, stronger

Anger replacing numbness

Anger at the world for pushing my hand

Anger at myself for letting it come to this

Anger at all that stood in my way

And it fuses my soul's sand into glass

It dissolves the crazy emotions

Welds together my mind

It's clear now

I push on

I force on

I tumble on and I power through the pain

I'm fed up

Anger mingles with hope

Determination with insanity

Creativity with a sense of purpose

And my path is clear.

I, broken

Tread through

Life bends, creaks, moans

It tries to stop my procession

But it's too late

Because not even I, broken, could stop me now.

Author's Note

Be gentle. -_-
These are kinda ravings of my insane side.

Alright! I'm proud of you. Hope is powerful. A glimmer can quickly grow. Broken, tattered, and stitched up - a boat can still sail with repairs. Time, energy, blood, and sweat makes it all worth in the end. Press on. Keep the goal in sight.
