Everyone Is Broken

Nothing left to hide
Everything is crystal clear
I must sound absurd

How does one confide
In shattered mirrors held dear
Using only words

Why do I reside
In broken hearts filled with fear
Cage confines the bird

Take it all in stride
Love will resurrect good cheer
Mend my broken world

Excellent writing, Yoni! Love the uplifting last verse. Love and time will "mend (your) broken world." How true! Love, Carolyn

Stagnant in its truth, but so insightful and raw. "Mend my broken world" is just excruciating. Best wishes, Sara

Interesting and thought provoking series. The perspective on life in the last stanza is one that we can all learn from. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Keep on writing. Karen

There are times when we all feel bare, with "nothing left to hide." Indeed, this feeling is like a cage that confines the heart. Your writing is outstanding! Love, Carolyn

Beautiful poetry. May I say that the title needs to be one of your lines. All the best.
