Broken

Broken

Every one, everything against you

A life, a heart, a friendship

Shattered by hate, jealously, selfishness

No one to turn to

No one to trust

No one to heal

The pain inside you

 

You pray, you contemplate, you decided

Then it is finished

Not for some

To others it is like a battlefield

You don't know when it will end or how it started

You don't know when they will strike you down 

just so they can watch you pull yourself up

And when you get up

they can push you down again.

The blood, the words, the lies

It's all just a game

You neither win nor lose

The battle continues forever until it kills you both

Glue, tape, and even a Band-Aid can't bring the pieces together 

of your broken heart, your broken friendship, your broken life.

Kind words and an open heart are crushed under the cruel lies.

 

Even as a Christian, my reliance on others and loneliness is something I struggle with the most

God is the ultimate healer

But why can't I feel the healing

 

There are chains at my feet

Trapping me in this broken place

A sword is at my tongue waiting for what I have to say

The tears of sadness and hatred are falling down

Down 

to

 my 

cold

black 

chains

 

I can't move, I can't speak

I'm broken because of you

All the lies you committed, the hatred you have toward me have caused me to weep and destroy me

 But is that really why I'm broken?

Is it my trust in you which is broken?

Is it the curses and hateful words you say against me?

Sin is the ultimate fault

My words are like a doubled-bladed sword

I cut and make you bleed,

 To me I think I'm giving you helpful advice and just being me.

To you I'm criticizing you and bring you down 

But you sit there and let me cut you.

Why did you never say anything?

It is my sinful nature and yours that expects us to understand our faults.

But we don't 

We are like chicken who's head is cut off 

We are running around and thinking that everything okay but it's not.

 

My life is nothing without Jesus.

My love is all I have left to give.

Even though my enemies may strike me down

I will come back up on top and love you all the same.

I will love you my brother or sister.

Please forgive me for I have already forgiving you.

God be always with me where ever I go for I am Broken

And with your son, Jesus, make me whole again

I can feel a lot of dark emotions swirling in this poem. It's pretty dark and gives you a grasp on how much you're currently venting on but the font you chose to give off the harshness of the piece is hard on the eyes though ( I know it's totally irrelevant to your writing but it does help encourage a reader to read and concentrate on what you want to convey)

Also I like the ending. I'm glad you're coping well with your current struggles. Keep writing and keep improving. ^_^

amazing poem, i know exactly how you feel. It's sad to think that your enemies can put you down, but always remember there is someone, somewhere who is there for you. So keep your chin up, there is always something to live for.

Thanks for reading! ^-^

Yes indeed the savior helps as someone to lean on when times are tough... very depressing, but have hope things will soon get better and God watches over us every day. Creative, emotional piece with a really nice layout. This can relate to us all especially the part about the double edged sword, hurting yourself while you hurt others you care for. Sad, well penned write indeed!!! ;)

good poem. this is what really life is. there's ups and downs that are happening. it is sad that sometimes pull you down are the persons whom you are trusted. it als happened to me.in whatever problems may occur to our lives, there is God to guide us. He is just near us and He will never leave us.

[RachelReaper]

its okay to vent :) its lets your emotions out and then they form themselves into something that can turn into something beautiful.

[Felicity's Eve]

This is the story of my life right now. :(
But Psalm 139 is a major help! :)

This is lovely and heartfelt.
God bless!

[The Invisible Girl]
