He was broken, I was damaged goods.
He was broken, I was damaged goods.
The light couldn't possibly shine
Among the hills of fresh green falsehoods.
He was broken, I was damaged goods.
My losses are buried in the woods,
Along with the shards of scars I regret to name mine
He was broken, I was damaged goods.
The light couldn't possibly shine.
About this poem
I wrote this poem because of my ongoing challenge of overcoming trauma from my father.
