Broken- Fragments of Me

BROKEN-Fragments of me

                              Fragments 
                                              of       me, 
                                                              were 
                                                                       BROKEN      off
                                   since the day I was born
                                Burned in my memory each day
                                     my self worth was torn
                                
                                 Fragments 
                                              of        me,
                                                             fell 
                                                                   off     as         all
                                 the little pieces they shattered
                                 Blasts of childhood destruction
                                were never what really mattered

                                Fragments 
                                             of         me, 
                                                               were     bitten      off
                                  by sarcastic words of derision
                                 Aggravated by my foolish heart
                                and my own impetuous decisions

                               Fragments 
                                            of          me, 
                                                               were     blown     off
                                     by jealousy and disdain
                           I don't think my so-called friends noticed 
                                the missing pieces and my pain

 
                                                    Then

                     Miraculously I found you,  better said you found me
                  You saw me as I really was, and who I was meant to be

                  You picked up all my fragments, with all my little pieces
          Your love, glued them back on me, even ironing out all my creases
                 Now people see me not as broken, but as a person, whole
                        Now, I thank God everyday, for bonding me,                                         
                                    to the woman  of   my   soul.
