Broken Poem by Thabitha Marakalala

BrOKen

She is so beautiful
Though she is covered with scars
She has this bright smile
Though she is tearing inside
Her laughter causes blushes
A disguise to her cries
She never let's you stare
at her beautiful eyes
She has this fear that you will see
through her disguise

Her silence always triggers concerns
It's a lot louder than her voice
She says it's nothing
When it's really something
She says she is OK
when she is really broken inside
Though her words try to hide it
But her eyes shows it
She is BrOKen

She only let's loose of her sadness
In the darkness
Her pillow tells stories never told
How she wishes to have someone to hold
She might seem to have it all
But her tears are painted on heavens wall

On her own she may seem to be a bit stronger
But deep down she wishes for that one man who can just stay a little longer
Though she believes she has hard enough
This wounds have made her just a little too tough
She might believe that she is OK
Deep down she knows she is Broken

She won't say it
But in her eyes it's written
She might not think it
But it's what she needs
Her hearts desire is to lay her head
Against his beating heart
Her soul desire is to find home
In his loving arms
She doesn't ask for much
But to find her moon
The missing puzzle to her broken heart
One who will see the Broken In her OK...
