    Shaken

    I was born broken
    into a shattered world.
    Pulses race along white tile and green scrubs.
    My eyes opened and I saw
    others like me that were broken.
    My hands,
    reaching,
    for anything I could have.
    Fragile fingers
    shaking in the still air.
    It wasn't the best place to be,
    but I could say that I was
    shaken
    in an unshaken world.
    Where the people operate like robots
    and the air is acidic.
    And the ash
    falls like snow.

    Thank you so much. :) Sometimes I can see a light, and I hope I'm not imagining such an amazing thing... But I think it's real, and I think your hope is too..

    Thank you.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
