I think this is an exceptional monostich poem. You've managed to say so much in one sentence, which fits neatly and perfectly across the presentation.
The words hold emotion and makes one deeply connect. Who of us has not felt like this before? Very eloquently stated. A beautiful poem.
I wish you the very best in the contest :)

This monostich poem, Broken Pieces, makes a simile of difficulty comparing people's brokenness to that of impossibly destroyed glass. Even trying to help is tricky.

Agreed. It's one of the greatest challenges we are ever given. You've done a beautiful and very effective job conveying the pain with this shards-of-glass image. It's impressive and memorable, and I get it gets you a high standing in this competition. Good luck to you, Mystery Writer. xo

Well-written, and I totally agree with the sentiment. Great image, too. And yes, I think glass would be easier to repair than a broken heart. Good luck in the contest.

I know what you mean. Be shattered, that is.
Poetically speaking, I'd look for a way to tie the second part to the first part.
something about shards, or being cut, or sharp edges.
Complete your thought poetically.
Just a suggestion.

Peace, Lee
