Broken

Broken

A Poem by Whiskurz

I've read a lot of broken words
Wounded beyond repair
Sadness wrapped in tears and ink
And stories of despair
Poets are truly a special breed
They write the things they hide
Showing strangers they've never met
The pain that lives inside
Hiding their souls from those they love
Choosing paper to be their friend
Telling their secrets to a special kind
In places their hearts can mend
Hoping that someone can understand
The meaning of their grief
Where an unseen friend will extend a hand
And offer a little relief
Poets are truly a special breed
Through words that's never spoken
Though some are sure of who they are
Most are simply broken

I couldn't agree more...I think a lot of writer's find WC to be a place of refuge. But even with that said..you can't just trust anyone.

Most of us...are broken...some of us...just do a better job of hiding it.

This is really good and completely true. Each word I was sitting here thinking "that describes me". It's one of those "tough truth" situations.
