I’m a little broken,
Like everyone else.
Another person comes
And takes what they want,
Then they leave.
You want something too?
Come take it.
I don’t care anymore.
Tear me apart.
Leave my shards,
Discard them in the street.
Take what you like,
Leave what you don’t.
Don’t feel bad about it,
Just take it.
I’m broken beyond repair anyways,
Why not be shattered once more?
Take what you want,
Leave what you don’t.
I’m broken beyond repair already.
It’s no use trying to fix me now.
Take what you need,
Give into the greed.
I’m broken in the first place.
Shatter me again
Go ahead and do it.
Take what you need, leave what you don’t.
Shatter me again
I tell you,
No one will care.

Me too, I sometimes write from observation or from personal emotions and experiences.

Is it you who is shattered or a character?
I like the sentence, ‘give into the greed. ‘ It flows well.

No, I’m not the Shattered character. I like watching how other people act and writing about certain things I notice. Sometimes I write about how I feel in the poems, but mainly its about things I notice from about other people.

You are not broken or you wouldn’t have been able to write this. Don’t ever give up on yourself you are worth so much more than you will ever know. Your a talented poet and you deserve to be loved. Love yourself and never give up
