Broken Pieces
Our Scars Give us Power
We are but two broken souls,
Burning shards like hot coals,
Shattered by hardship and pain,
Lost, with everything to gain.
*
Cast aside and set adrift in an icy sea,
Our tormentors chose to ignore our plea,
Fate wills our paths cross in these waves,
No longer bound to watery graves.
*
We crash into each other amidst the storm,
Surrounded by shipwrecks of the forlorn,
I reach out, desperate to take your hand,
Raindrops crash down like grains of sand.
*
Our skin, full of fractured creases,
We fit together like jigsaw pieces,
Broken pieces combine to create a soul,
But together, our broken parts make us whole.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
