Fragmented

Maybe we

Have to shatter

As the pressure to become

Someone other than

Who we really are

Fragments our inner being

Splintering different parts of us

Blowing the wildly spinning

Splinters apart

With massive force

Hurting we are separated

With only parts of integral consciousness

Calling or crying out

Echoing through our soul

The most despondent sound

Falling spent onto stony hollow ground

We face a fallen opportunity

And there in the deepest void

Our unifying soul calls to us

Please come home

Setting those spinning fragments

Into a healing dance

Years it seemed I spent lost

In this dark wilderness

Ages of pain it seemed

Separated my wounded heart from love

What a crying crying shame

To become so utterly fragmented

In this way

And yet is this just not

The way of collective trauma

Reverberating?

What is that roaring in your ears?

The shedding of rivers of tears?

Where my soul

Did you disappear to?

The answer comes

What is hurting you

Are the penetrative shards

Of ancestral memory

Living in your breasts

Your gut

Your running hips

Making you stress

Arresting your breath

Setting you at fragmented odds

With your deepest self

Stop running the loving mother says

Turn deep within

Face

Honor

And love

Your truest self

And with these loving words

Call all of your fragmented pieces
