POEM

Broken man.

By Abigail WanjiruPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In shadows cast by fractured dreams,

a broken man, worn at the seams.

His echos linger in silent despair,

whispers lost in vacant air.

Eyes, windows to a soul weathered and worn,

carry tales of the storms he has borne.

Once a canvas of vibrant hues,

now painted in somber, blues.

A symphony of shattered notes,

his song composed of shattered hopes.

Each step a dance on shards of time,

a rhythm formed in a pantomime.

Yet within the ruins, resilience stirs,

a phoenix seeking what once was hers.

Infringements, the strength to rise,

reclaiming pieces of broken skies.

For even in the wreckage, hope resides,

a broken man silently abides.

In the mosaic of scars, a story unfolds,

of resilience, where a new chapter molds.
