This is all
that's left of me,
all my broken pieces.
Can I ever learn
to control my emotions
and not let my pain
have power over me?
Can I ever be free
of these shackles,
these vices that
keep me chained?
I need to accept
my baggage for
what it is.
I must work through
it all so I can
be better one day.
This is the first step
towards healing
and wholeness.
