Broken Poem by Tanya Bajinka

Broken

Rating: 5.0


How did I become so broken?
It's hard to trust.
It's hard to love.
It's hard to have faith.

Everyday I awaken
All I want is to stop the aching.
I fight my emotions down.
Maybe today is the day I can get off this merry-go-round.

I get up on my own two feet.
I put on a smile so no one can see.
Maybe today I will find what I seek.
Maybe today is the day I defeat.

When will it end?
The child cries.
How did it begin?
The women sighs.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
There is no fancy words or beautiful scenery in this poem. Sorry, it is what it is, it's me. I put on a smile all the time and laugh and act like I am happy but behind the mask I am broken and it so dreadfully painful.

You have a beautiful way of expressing brokeness :) . But you need to talk to somebody about yourself a parent, a friend, a relative. Trust me it will help you, you do not need to pretend, ever.

stop concealing urself from urself. why to hide? ? face ur melancholy let urself fall into the deepest oceans of pain. feel it. feel that loss. and then emerge up. once you encounter with your shadow you get an idea about ur shape. u ll know urself.

tanya stop applying your mind to fight with your own mind. Its not ur absolute melancholy that is troubling you, instead its ur fighting, ur terrible attempts to resist ur sadness which is tormenting you. your pretence to be happy pulls ur absolute being away from what you are. stop the resistance dont create any conflict in ur mind. allow ur sadness to take over your psyche, see the dark, feel the sadness, let urself fall into the dreadfully deep pit. Then arise.
