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.
