On breaking

I break

I’m broken

It’s painful

But it’s also regenerative

It’s self-forming and renewing

It’s the building blocks of the next version of me

I have assumed wholeness is the goal

But maybe it’s brokenness

When I break

I become more me

Stronger softer surer

The breaking enables me to start again

To change into something someone more

To receive

To rely on

To develop perspective

To see a new way out

I break to become
