Shattered But I’m Not Broken

Surely it wasn’t meant to be

Hurting so much so constantly

And still I feel a satisfaction, more than before

There is a peace even though there is a gaping gore

This lifeless body has for long been

Enveloped in a lonely screen

Restrained by a hopeless will

Endless chains strung through an impenetrable grill

Didn’t expect relief, no longer cared

But a key turned the lock and a whisper shared

Unimaginable joy just a step away

Total bliss to come in the morrow, the next day

I grabbed with faith as I extended my hand

‘cause I felt the relief,  I felt my lungs expand

My troubles were snatched away from me

No more gloominess, a promise of glee

On this day I believed and words would erase

Thoughts of spending the rest of my days

Building the wall of rejection to block others out

Right now I could hear my heartbeat, my emotions shout 

One person alone has melt the despair

Kept in touch and showed true care

Encouraged me to look forward to a brighter day

Now I’m feeling normal and in a loving way.
