Beautifully Broken

by So Beautifully Broken   Mar 4, 2007


Shes beautifully broken
Deep down inside
The pieces held together
With a beautiful smile

Her wounds are covered
With her endless laughter
Behind her mask
No one can touch her

The words are thrown
Obliviously at her face
They never seem to care
Always getting on her case

She tries to scream
But it refuses to come out
They just look at her
And continue to shout

She closes her eyes
And drones out the sounds
Against her chest
Her relentless heart pounds

She goes to her room
Of where she feels safe
She cries on her bed
And dreams of a better place

A dream is a wish
That your heart makes
A dream is a wish
Where your heart then takes-

The chance that you wouldn't risk
and you just let yourself fall
Where you believe if its meant to be
Then its worth it all

She wakes up to the day
And the voice burns her again
She dreams of the day
Where its all gonna end

She gets ready for the day
And brushes her hair
Refuses to look in the mirror
She really doesn't care

She never found herself beautiful
Even though shes tried
For someone to tell her she were
Would have been taken as a lie

The world moves on around her
The same old dirty looks
She tries to lose herself
And brings home a few books

In the novels that she reads
She can forget her own life
Forget about the years
The pain,and the strife

But then when shes done
It starts all over again
She cries herself to sleep
Wondering when its gonna end

Shes forced to believe
That hell is a place called home
Forced to believe
That she has to stand alone

Your bringing her down
breaking her into another someone
Turning her into something
She never wanted to become

Your words are like daggers
That slice through her chest
Always tearing her apart
Not giving her a rest

One time you want something
And then you change your mind
You leave her outside
In the cold , left behind

You yell out in rage
You scream at the top of your lungs
The words hanging in the air
Curses from your tongue

She wants to run away
And never come back
Your voice is piercing through her veins
Remind her of what she lacks

Because of you she is scared
She cant sleep at night
Everyday is more pain
Everyday another fight

No matter what she does
No matter how hard she tried
You just ignore her
Your just never satisfied

She grew up in a broken home
and All thanks to you
Played out like a script
Get onstage ,theres your cue

Her friends always said
why don't you ever come?
She always looked down, replied
Because she doesn't want me to have fun

That was a long time ago
And now shes grown up
She tired and sick
And literally fed up

Let the rain come down
And drown her fears away
She cant take it anymore
Not her , not today

Every word that she hears
Every hurtful thing that you say
You kill her inside
A little more each day

What more can you take away from her
That you haven't already hurt
Her tired and restless heart
Has already been thrown away in the dirt

She wants to thank you-
For your help ,
Thank you for what you've done
You pretty much lost her
Pulled that trigger on the gun

Maybe when shes gone
Maybe you'll give a damn
Maybe you'll wish you were there
Given her a hand

People will come and go
The world will move on
Shell be away
You'll just carry on

Shes not going to end her life
Because of what you have done
For her , her life
Will rise again with the sun

Shell take control of her life
Take hold of the wheel
Perhaps one day shell be happy
Not faking , but for real

It was written with love
Then sealed with a kiss
She was lost then loved
And I can tell you this

That girl was me
I was her the whole time
Wasn't meant to be a heartbreaking story
This world of mine

I'm one in six billion
Once asleep now woken
I'm a beautiful girl
So beautifully broken

    Love the poem, it has a powerful start that really draws you in. The flow was brilliant for most if it, although occasionally I felt the lines were too long in some stanzas, and in this verse I got a little lost:

    The chance that you wouldn't risk
    Of where you just then fall
    Where you believe it its meant to be
    Then its worth it all

    but it's a really beautiful poem, keep writing, and thankyou ever so much for the comment
