pieces
a poem by Anita Smith
Broken soul
Shattered
Into various pieces
Jagged
Can’t be placed together
Again.
The pieces represent broken memories
Of his life
They represent
A dad that didn’t love him
A momma that didn’t raise him
A teacher that didn’t understand him
A church that didn’t pray for him
A woman that didn’t please him
A friend that didn’t trust him.
These pieces cannot be put back together
Because he keeps holding onto them
He holds them tight
So tight
Until the blood gushes from his hand.
He can’t let go
He doesn’t know how
So he continues to grab and twist
And watch the blood pour out onto the floor.
He revels in the pain
It’s all he knows.
