Broken

I’m stressing,

Jumping through hoop to hoop all day

Just wishing God would let me catch a break.

All alone, wishing I had someone to call my own. 


Breathing in and out feeling like I’m choking.

I really wish I was joking but honestly I’m just broken.

Trying to mask my feelings, all I want to do is start healing.

Another child dead, another mother grieving, that’s all I’m hearing.


This world we live in is crazy,

 I’m scared to have a baby. 

Can’t wait til I’m living my best life somewhere extraordinary.

You might not expect it but I have a cold heart.

Everything from our past makes us who we are.

I can’t judge nobody, I’ve been through sh*t too.

And at the end of the day we’re all humans, boo.


I look at my little brother and see my younger self

If only I could protect him from this gruesome world. 

Not knowing what’ll happen next, just praying for the best. 

Taking it one step at a time , I lowkey feel like I’m losing my mind.

My life has just been rocky lately and I'm just trying to feel better honestly. The world around us has gotten worse and it's just scary to know anything can happen at any time. Theirs always hope though, I wrote this poem to let some of my feelings out
