We’re more than just our scars,
We’re the adventures that occasioned
The bits of us we left behind;
That left us sore, or chastened,
Or maybe neither. Maybe we
Are made the way we’re made
To learn about survival, else
We just remain
Afraid

Never Broken
You were bent, but never broken,
Friend who I admire so –
Though the hurtful word was spoken,
Many painful lives ago
You’ve decided you’d do better
Than the life your parents had;
You are not your lonely mother,
Nor your broken, angry dad
There’s a strength that wells within you,
You will all your dreams fulfill —
You were bent, but never broken:
Never have been
Never
Will
