Broken Poet

I know a broken writer when I see one. Their shaky hands but perfect handwriting, the kind of perfect they wish to feel.

Their broken eyes and their chapped lips, trying to cram all of their emotions into one single page.

Trying to find the other hidden figures like them, begging the universe to let them be happy but still be broken enough to care.
