TODAY I'M BROKEN

Yesterday - when friends were fast

& thick as theives...

Yesterday I smiled.

Yesterday I dreamed of a happy tomorrow.

Yesterday they left me all alone -

& here I am.

A woman child told me that I'm still

just a broken child

& I've never pretended to be anything else -

How could I be?

Today I Am Broken...

But maybe tomorrow

I can pick up the pieces.
