Broken. A Collection of Poetry
Broken. A Collection of Poetry
Broken
Like a baseball through your window
Like the tip if a wooden pencil being aggressively used by a furious creature
Like a messed up jigsaw puzzle that took four hours to finish
Like the fading gold of dawn as daylight approaches
Like someone’s family after receiving the news of death
Like an individual diagnosed with cancer
Like a heart stretched into taffy and used for playing jump rope
Broken
Like me
The Greener Grass
If only I could possess that of you
To live it big in your glorious life
Having it easy no perspiration or labor
Being able to sleep at night without worries or troubles
If only I could try it out for a day
To be able to enjoy spontaneity and lavish things
Having a family who embodies perfection
Being able to confront people without feeling shame
If a genie happened to grant me a wish
To take your life out for a spin
Having the opportunities you take for granted
Being able to determine once and for all; if the shoes I’m in are actually the most comfortable to walk that mile in
Clocks
Ticking, ticking
Always moving and never stopping
Life is a ticking clock
Infinitely there even when unnoticed
Trying to deny the truth can do no good
Lying to yourself about the time will not change the fact that it is 1 AM
A clock can't just turn itself back to 3
Realizing where you are and what time it is- essential
A clock has a battery
Once it runs out the clock is thrown away
Clocks should be utitlized because time is precious: it is there to mark change
What will you do before the clock strikes 12?
