Cracking. Crumbling. Exactly how many ways did you see me as broken? Intellectually? Socially? Emotionally? Financially? Aesthetically? Mentally? Uncontrollable. Inconsolable. Crazy. What I thought was “Oh, how I love thee?” was really ‘Oh, how I love to tell thee thou art is broken.’ Please, allow me to count the ways. Damaged. Emotional. Irrational. Dangerous. Problem. Baggage. Too angry. Too sad. Too...happy? Sick. Neurotic. Out of control. In need of help. In need of rescue. Unbearable. Unfixable. Unlovable. Caving. Cracking. Crumbling. Breaking. Broken. Your words, sharper than the sharpest dagger, pierced my pale flesh over and over and over again. Words so sharp I didn’t feel a thing, didn’t know I was cut until I looked down and saw my crimson blood flowing free...until I almost bled out. Believe you I did, your voice in my head. Every word that you meant, every word that you said. Believe you I did...until I didn’t. In my hour of darkness, it was my brightest hour when I knew not how to live, nor how to die. For in that space of ‘betwixt and between’ emerged a single thought. Maybe I was broken. But who isn’t? Yi dian dian...even just a little. Believe you I did until I didn’t. Because out of my brokenness is beauty, is resilience, is compassion. Just as one has to be lost before being found, I had to be broken before being unbroken. Uploaded via Twine (https://www.).
