broken, or alive?

broken, or alive?

A Poem by Erin Michelle

When you build up 
A tower
Thinking it's on bricks,
And it's not,
And the sand sinks 
Right below you,
The sky seems even more blue,
You appreciate the hazy clouds
So much more.
You enjoy the sun's yellow rays,
The wind's mysterious movements,
The bird's chirping,
The smell of a swamp 
As you drive by at night 
With the windows down,
All so much more.
Even the black silence,
The white noise,
All so much more,
When you're broken yet alive.
