Poem: To Be Broken

An original Poem by Heidi Fischer explores a feeling she often encounters when in an Emotional Flashback due to past trauma. This feeling is one that says to her; "I am broken". And so in this writing, she takes some time to explore what "being broken" really means. A gentle chime opens and closes this recording and light music plays in the background.

What does it mean to be broken? I doubt if I can really say. Something old takes hold, And I say to myself, Those things I wouldn't say to anyone else but me. So what does it mean? I suppose I don't know. It lives in my heart in a dull sort of way. It sits on my shoulders where I can't escape. It's the sorrow, The sadness, The rage. It's the whisper that says I'm not good enough. It's time to move on, But I can't, So I'm wrong. The things that they said fill up my head, And the whisper says I'm not good enough. What does it mean to be broken? I guess I really can't say.
