The great thing about human beings, we were created by a perfect mater of creation. Our creator Jehovah God, can restore any one of his creations; shine us up and put a new coat of paint on us and make us better than new. We ,must never lose hope or give up.

Love this. Loved the comparison of your broken feelings to tangible things which are broken. It sucks when we get hurt so badly we feel as useless as a broken machine. Feelings are really hard to explain sometimes.

A sad place to find oneself. Your comparison of life being used up and finally at its breaking point is good. I kinda feel like that myself. Old, battered and torn. I like your play on words.

In my opinion, though sad in narrative, the spirit of the write is unmistakably heartfelt and fluid in both expression and movement - stunning in capturing the plaintive quality of the poet's words...

This is a very good illustration used for this piece.
Your thoughts are consistent with abuse, neglect and other mind-bending characteristics.
You point out the damage caused by these issues.
Thanks for sharing.

This is a tragic piece of poetry dear Linda! I think we all go through that but the intensity varies.a bravo for bringing something so personal and intimate to the table.
Thank you for sharing!

Lively Linda,

I love your expression of brokenness and the inanimate breakdowns you use to correlate your feelings. Age seems to be a factor that has tired you and wore you down. Perhaps surgeries glue you back together, but you'll never be the same.

I like your rhymes and your repeated "I am broken."

Very moving and heartfelt expression.

Patricia

Wonderful write.. Even it is sad, the way you present is exquisite.. Age is just for the body we are trying to preserve.. If mind is still young, we can write fantastic poem like this about the broken body..

With concrete imagery, you describe the brokenness of the spirit. It is often these kinds of revelations or self-revelations that leads to a fresh perspective to new life in God.

I'm sure that many here who be able to relate as I do. The fragmented stanzas work well to form a cohesive story. Thank you for sharing this one. God bless
