Nobody broke me

Written by Christina Duvenhage 12 November 2023

Nobody broke me.

I was broken before I was born.

The one people got but never really wanted.

The thorn in the side.

The reminder of everything that never should have been.

I should have died before birth, during birth and even after birth.

I stared death in the face to many times.

The one that people tolerate but never include

The one to use and then thrown away.

The one who loves but is never really loved backed

The stepping stone, the one to blame and the one who takes the beating, but never fought for.

Nobody broke me, because you can't break what is already broken.

You can't want, what is already unwanted.

You can't love the unloved and you can't save the unsaved.

You can only tolerate it until it goes away.

So no, nobody broke me, because I was never whole to begin with.
