God bless the Broken

The ones who cry-

Love never made it past their ears to their soul.

The ones who try-

try to put their hearts back together {before anyone can see}.

God bless the Broken

The ones who bleed

from the cuts the razors leave. The words leave. Their minds leave.

The ones who realize that understanding is all that they need,

yet they can't quite understand themselves.

God bless the Broken

The ones for which normalcy is just a dream

where they always wake up before they find it.

The ones who wake up with a scream

as they realize that living is the real nightmare.

God bless the Broken

The ones with a hole in their heart

that they're too tired to keep filling.

The ones who can feel themselves fall apart

while everyone else trudges on. Stepping on the pieces.
