You Left Me Broken
But I'll put the pieces together again
The day you left me, I was
Crushed
Shattered
You left me completely broken.
I was completely fractured
Damaged
Destroyed
Chipped into small, tiny pieces
But I got up, on feet
Rebuilt
Salvaged
And put myself back together again
*** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***
You left me fractured.
Crushed almost beyond repair
Wishing I was dead
Up I did get and
Put myself back together
Get up on my feet
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
Broken
But repairable
Destroyed
But will rise again
Unloved
But will love again
Damaged
But will be mended
Dimmed
But will shine again
Humiliated
But will be proud again
Crushed
But will get it together

Great job. I love the mosaic image that you put with it; it perfectly fits the message that you are putting across with the poem. Together, they create a bittersweet yet very optimistic image.

Beautiful. Crushed but not defeated. Like the mosaic of the illustration, its beauty comes from the reconstruction of the pieces that form the bigger picture. So well done!
