I'm Broken
By Lylani
I'm the shingle on the beach
Broken parts of forgotten collisions
You pour me into moulds
Trying to make me whole
Fill
the cracks
Smooth the edges
But my sand falls through the
gaps in your fingers
Because these wounds aren't made to be mended
I wasn't made to be perfect
I'm the chipped off corners of reflections
A million shards of other peoples beauty
And the chapters they tare
up and replace with happy endings
You don't need to be my saviour
You don't need to find a cure
I am what I am
I'm broken
Thats okay
That's me

nice conceit.... extended metaphor.... a million shards of other peoples' beauty" a wonderful line.... torn pages replaced... funny how sometimes whole just isn't going to be, how the myriad of attempts by others to rewrite one's ending can fail just as easy as a wave can wash 'I love you' off the beach.... well written.... thanks for coming back :)

Well written. I liked it. It was short. Succinct. Everything I like in poetry.
