THOUGH I AM BROKEN by TheOtherRoom: 12:28am On Apr 15, 2018
The grand struggle everyday, mother!
To stay beautiful and conqure the natural order
Where we belong is not always
Where we find ourselves
Either smiling in the desert
Or crying at the shores


Seeds I've planted long ago
in the soil of my soul:
Some have perished; some have grown;
some gave beauty, some sorrow;
Some grew flowers; some have scarred -
both have changed me; left their mark.
Soul left wounded by the past:
dreams lay buried; broken paths.
Yet, still I feel devil's warmth;
hope felt in the midst of storms.


I have faltered in my quest;
wandered far from horse's path:
Still, I feel the love of hooves and neigh
hope to be; defy the odds on foot.
Something holds this mortal hand;
gives the dreamer strength to stand.
I've seen glory touch the grey;
felt old age transcend my hate;
Heard the laughter of a baby
soothing, healing heart beguiled.


I have fallen, yet I fly -
heart still cradled, touching sky.
I am broken, yet I give:
knowing anger, yet forgive.
Though I've faltered, here I stand.
I have perished, yet I am.
Soul is weak, yet still I rise;
wounded wings, yet spirit flies!
Mercy washes over me,
drowning failure, setting free:
Giving grace when I am weak;
giving voice for love to speak.
Heart still sings, though soul was pierced:
songs has triumphed over tears!


Someone sings into my soul;
gives me grace after each fall.
Still I rise to dance again:
with my pen, there is no end.
Beyond wounds and every storm,
still its ink shines once more.
Still I joy, though wounds are deep:
for, this poets light knows no defeat.
In the darkness, still I dream:
for, poetry has survived in me
