Broken

Strong
Standing tall
World at your feet
Nothing could pull you down…
Or so you thought

Then cruel circumstance
Plunged you head first
Into real life

You thrashed
You struggled
Tried to stay up
Go on as before
You put up a fight
You would not go down without one
But slowly
You were slipping

You had been strong
But not strong enough
So you slid under
Still you did not give up

Then
One last bittersweet twist of fate
Found you
Wrenched your stained soul
Until you were

Crushed
Strong no longer

Broken
