Broken People

Life can break people

Leave them in jagged pieces on the floor

Sometimes the damage is so great

They doubt they will ever be restored

Life can break people

Damage them in ways most can’t comprehend

Leave them unable to love or trust

They doubt that that they can ever really mend

But sometimes if the will and heart are strong

The pieces they can be reassembled still

And though the jagged edges will be raw

There still a chance the broken ones can heal
