Broken

I was once broken

Shattered, scattered and tossed

Lost among the pieces

Struggling to find a way

To fill the hole they left

I once was drowning

Fighting, swimming and crying out

Tossed in the waves

Seeking and searching

For shore, a rest from this pain

I was once defeated

Dejected, rejected and tossed

Aside, like so many others

Trying to find a home

I once was broken

Now I’m mending

And though I’m not quite whole

I am no longer lost

Or drowning

I am not defeated

For I have found my home.
