The way it works is we are given a life, a gift so incredible,
Slowly as we age and grow Circumstances change us all.
Tragedies, heartbreak, friends that disappear make us scarred,
Even through the great times, the laughter in our lives we change.
It’s not always a bad thing as it molds who we are, makes us strong,
We are all broken in some ways as this makes us who we are.
Our character and talent shine through in different forms with time,
To sing out and cry the blues, write beautiful and great songs is you.
The amazing art of painting, your thoughts with color on canvas,
Of course i will never leave out the great and special gift of writing, poetry.
We all possess that hidden talent but it is that it must be found inside,
If not discovered then what a terrible loss and waste to the world and self.
We are all broken in some ways but then we find out more about ourselves,
Strive do we to overcome and create a better place, share what we have,
Our experiences and knowledge of all the good and bad, we are all broken
In some ways but yes! that’s okay, we’ll work on it today and tomorrow will be a better day.

So true
This poem is extremely deep, and you have SO much talent to be able to write something with that depth.

This is great! But seems lonely – I wondered if my song ‘Broken’ would be good company for the poem?https://m.soundcloud.com/mike_turnbull/broken
So very true! Sometimes it takes awhile for us to recognize the brokenness in ourselfes. Keidh, this is a great article – thanks!
