Of all things You thought this Would break me I remember everything Which led to this My attempts To form a void Within this chaos Shape-shifting Reality, bends and turns Sometimes wasted Always left wanting I missed the sound Of it breaking The last piece Shattering the realization As the dust blows From my hand That you were right Of all things It was you Who would finally Break me
Expections are what breaks us, finally.
Loved the poem man, speaks such great volume 🙂

Some people don’t even have to try, and they break others.

When we break it’s to make room for something new that’s need birthing – whether that’s sadness or happiness is up to us if we’re lucky enough to know we can make a choice

The struggle in this is palpable, the conclusion a relief, somehow. Gorgeous Gorgeous work!

We fall badly
We get broken
We pick up the pieces
We never feel the same
We look lost
We become tame
Then we walk again
Start to breathe again
And live again

The lords of WP have made it insane for me to try and follow those I love to read without a Gravatar- so I had to make another one 😳

That is something. I tried to play one when I was young. I got one for Christmas one year but never caught on to how to use it. Good to know you play one.
