We the broken ones

We the broken ones.

We the damaged by our distant past

and early memories.

We shall rise too, but stronger.

 

We the ones who carry

all those scars they cannot see,

reminders that we are vulnerable

and still dare to expose ourselves.

 

We the ones with secrets

we wouldn’t dare to speak out loud.

We shall keep the smile

even in the darkest hours.

 

We the ones who walk right next to you

and you pass by without seeing our pain.

We shall endure.

We shall withstand.

 

We shall live and love,

because we have known darkness

we shall embrace the light.

No hesitations.

No doubts.

 

Total surrender.
