The People You Can't Fix

There are those people
Who are so broken
That they crumble
When you touch them

You can see the cracks
When they smile

Those people
Who are so broken
They chip away
And their pieces are lost
In a sea of hurt

You try to fix them
But the glue won't hold
And the pieces slip between your fingers
To break into smaller fragments

Those people
Who are so broken
You hold them
And clutching you close
They shatter into pieces
like a china doll
misused and tossed around

Those people
who are so broken
The pieces too old
And too far-gone
Chips that can't be repaired

I want to fix you

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Nice poem...The last line was sudden but felt great. I liked it a lot.
