Broken China

So many have tried
to make her pieces fir just right
She's been completed
but not yet whole
It's like she has several different pieces
that can fit into several different spots
But only one combination that is right
So go ahead, take your turn
arrange her how you like
She will just smile and nod
then sob into her pillow at night
She cries out,
"No one understands! Why can't they see
by trying to put me together
they only further break me?"
After being hurt so many times
her pieces have been broken down to dust
Fearing she is simply beyond repair
she stops.
Stops trying, stops looking, stops caring
Stops believing in love.
The he rides in on the night
sweeps her up
and assembles her just so
The people are ignorant and jealous so they attack what they do not
know
"How can she be fixed?"
"It's not fair!"
"I want that too!"
They want the good automatically
skipping all the pain
She was smart though and knew it didn't work that way
She looks at them with a smirk upon her face
"We are all made to heal," she said
"but you've got to be broken in the first place."
