I MAY BE BRUISED BUT I'M NOT BROKEN

“I feel I'm often misunderstood by critics. People project a lot or exaggerate the subjective fragility simply because it's frightening to them.”

BROKEN – RAY DAVIES

 

NOT BROKEN

 

A little flower was very curious

she felt that she was being fenced in

by a grey alternate world

where confusion reigned

and tore at her sweet heart

and time and time again

she let forgiveness lead her

through the fence in curiosity

and she was foolish

to let that world

cause her so much pain

and aim at her so much animosity

in her own little world the sun still shone

and all the other flowers

gathered around her;

made daisy chains

placed them in her plaited hair

and sang sweet soothing words

a lullaby of love and care

sunlight filtered through the grass

and lit up dew like precious jewels

her wounds ran deep

and left her tattered dress

still white but torn

but no-one saw this mess

all they saw when they looked at her

was the same little flower

they knew and loved

complex and often misunderstood

but as much a part of nature

as soft and gentle Summer showers

fragile as this flower is

inside her heart is warm and strong

and goodness shines from inside out

and radiates her whole life long

those cruel words written;

those harsh jibes spoken;

never will they harm her

she will and is protected always

by angels; and she's not broken.
