Analysis of Broken
Broken
By: Hayley Burris
We're all broken
It's a matter of fact
We're broken
Who breaks
Well, we break each other
Words of hate
Will tear us down
We are family
In one way or another
We are friends
We are broken
But we can be fixed
Start with a hello to stranger
Say a word of love instead of hate
Stop to help that person who needs help
Give a shake, hug, or kiss to beloved ones
In the end
We are still broken
But we are more whole
