Broken

feeling empty

is when you don’t know

whether to fill the cup

back up again,

or whether to break

the cup

so it can never be filled again 

Spring

they call it beautiful 

renewing

awakening

blooming

but I call it 

struggling

growing

hurting

under blissful gazes

of the ignorant people

who romanticize

youth
