Sometimes when my heart breaks
You still deserve to Be
Sometimes when my heart breaks,
I think of nothing about me.
But only of the fragments of
my broken humanity.
---
Sometimes when I cry
It's not in result of something sad.
But only for the sake of
Something whole I once had.
---
Not every tear
has a specific home.
Not every word
has a legacy in a poem.
---
It's not that those emotions,
words, and tears aren't there.
Only, they live on something other
than an identity solid and clear.
---
You don't need a poem
to get your word to be,
You don't need a tragedy
to break a heart in three.
---
Sadly, it is enough
to look around you,
to get your emotions riled
and all of them are true.
---
But a lesson from this fact
is to never lose the "me".
even when you feel lost,
You still deserve to be.

"Sometimes when I cry It's not in result of something sad. But only for the sake of Something whole I once had." resonates so deeply. This is a wonderful poem.
love love this line it fits so well and perfectly it's like a quote: Not every tear has a specific home. Not every word has a legacy in a poem.
So powerful, I absolutely loved this. All of us deserve to be here. Loved the rhyme scheme as well!
