Broken

Not supposed to be this young

Not supposed to be unhappy

Not supposed to consider suicide

But I was broken.

 

Supposed to be a happy child.

Supposed to live life without fear.

Supposed to love every second.

But I felt broken.

 

It seemed like love at first sight.

She made me feel good in my darkest hour.

Her smile lit up my entire world.

Losing her broke me.

 

Wanted to tell her how I felt.

Hoped she'd feel the same.

Desired to have her love.

My shyness broke the chance.

 

Moved to a new city.

Hoped to see her again.

Used social media to try.

Her marriage broke me.

 

Tried to end it all.

Didn't want to be without her.

Was hopeless and lost.

I was broken.

 

But now I've changed.

I don't need her to see I matter.

Now I'm better off.

I'm no longer broken.
