Snippets of Life

A Bit Broken

Sometimes

I get asked

How it feels to live

While feeling others'

Pain.

They say

That it must feel terrible

To have a constant weight

On your heart

And to be involved in everyone's

Problems

All at once.

It is painful

Sometimes it's pure torture

But

One thing I learned out of

All this

Is that

People are all

A bit broken around the edges.

I guess

Everyone had to ache at

One point in their lives

And everyone has their stories

So I guess

We shouldn't be too

Quick to judge others.

We are all

Rounded

Sharp

And cracked

Bruised

Injured

At some point

In our lives

Perhaps

We are all unique

But

Somehow the same

Because we

All are different pieces

Forced to fit

Together.

And if we just accepted

That fact

Perhaps

Our world would

Be

A better place.
