Broken
A life forever changed
Parts of me are broken and will never be the same.
Pieces lost and damaged and that's how they'll remain.
Life was forever changed one day in the blink of an eye.
Sunshine, smiles, and all was good until being struck by some guy.
The road's been long and by times it's been very rough.
I've been at my breaking point and have thought enough was enough.
Some days seem so empty because I just don't feel like me.
I'm a shell containing broken pieces and memories of who I used to be.
My life has changed drastically and has been harder for 16 years.
Many people tell me to just move on and wipe away my tears.
I only wish they understood the way I have to cope from day to day.
Because my appearance seems to be okay many think that my disability must have gone away.
Each day brings challenges with which I have to face.
And now that life is tougher, with tear filled eyes, I'll get through with God's grace.

Such a tragic story Christin... The pain and the loneliness really bleed through this emotional piece. Though I can`t imagine the trauma, I must say that this is a beautiful poetic verse. An awesome way to make a debut on this poetry site. I do hope you enjoy it here. Welcome to the Cosmos
Thank you for your comment on my poem, and the warm welcome to the site. You're very kind. 🙂
what an emotionally charged and otherwise well crafted poem you have posted here Christin .. filled to overflowing with tragic self disclosure but underpinned with a bold resolve to make the most of every moment ...
Not only impressed but thoroughly enjoyed .. All Good Things my poetic friend ..

Thank you very much, Neville. My writing is one of the only ways I am able to express my emotions. So whenever I am feeling something the words usually come quite easily. Thank you again for your comment...much appreciated. :-)

You will "get through with God's grace", and time heals.
Yiyan,
Yes, you are right. God's grace is what has pulled me through many storms, and time does heal but it doesn't heal everything. I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident and left with a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and many problems that resulted from it. Yes, my brain healed to a point but it will never function the same ever again as it has been hurt/damaged. However, I still praise God for His goodness and my second chance at life. :-)
