Broken Paths Poem by Safiyyah Manjra

These jiggered roads.
Of mistrust coats.

You want me to give in,
To this regular feeling call pain.

Please do not sound so mundane.
I am not one to live in vain.

Mentioned the junctions of the path of love were doubt.
I have been single-handedly receiving the silent replies when I shout.

I am a strong individual.
That does not mean I should withstand when someone is being cruel.

There's enough to this deceit.
Enough that there's no time for a repeat.

There are lots of things I should understand.
There are also lots of things we should both comprehend.

One of them is goodbye.
