Broken Poem by Uthman Ahmad
Broken
I used to play
as carelessly as a child
would play
Throwing things everywhere
shuttles, shoes, stones
at school and around the house
My house was made of glass screens
that protected my precious jewels
yet not a scratch would hit the screens
This autumn, i built
a house with blocks and concrete
to protect my jewels more
Only to pick up
pieces of my shattered jewels
lying on the floor
Putting my fragile heart out on the line unprotected.
Now with more years and experience, I protect my fragile heart by keeping it away from love, away from the shackles of pain
Only to find it broken into pieces afterwards.
