Broken Poem by Michael Farquer

What do you do
When your broken
Lying in pieces
On the ground
Shattered beyond belief
Hoping someone will find you
And lift you up
And put you back together
But they just walk by
Nobody stops
Nobody looks down
You see them
As their eyes turn away
Pretending your not there
You try to reach out
For them to just pull away
No forgiveness
Not even for yourself
Everybody knows
When your broken
Its always your fault
Because your selfish
And its all about you
So you lay there
Crying out
Begging
Wondering how long
You will lay there
And not get up
Wondering if you will die
A piece at a time
When your broken
And your dreams
Are shattered
Its all you focus on
The pain and the heartbreak
And the torment
Are just too much to bear
