The pieces of my heart

GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)



My soul is lost
My spirit is broken
And my heart is shattered
Into a million pieces

One thick wicked shard
Was broken in my childhood
By the blade of a low birth
And the abuse of an orphanage

A long sharp shard
That cuts deeper than a sword
Is the loneliness of my heart
And the solitude of my soul

A large fractalised piece
Shows the glimmers of my broken dreams
The stubs of shattered hopes
And the dying embers of all my wishes

One long needle-like shard
That bores right into my soul
Is the wicked hex of a curse
That led to my broken world
