Proud of Who I Am

I Am

I am broken, but strong.
I wonder when the world will make sense.
I hear the silent screams of the stars.
I see the promise of tomorrow!
I want to make a difference for someone.
I am broken, but strong.

I pretend to be whole all the time.
I feel the softness of a hug.
I touch hearts.
I worry that it's all a lie.
I cry when I finally give in.
I am broken, but strong.

I understand people are inherently good.
I say that everything will work out.
I dream of a happy future.
I try to laugh every day.
I hope there is something worth laughing about.
I am broken, but strong!
