Bent

by Jodee on June 21, 2012

she is buzzing
on lined paper
writing disjointed words
like her disjointed mind

piecing her life
like the 1000 piece puzzle
beginning with the edges
working her way in

standing on cardboard
stepping carefully
interlocking the pieces
forging a track

tossed, like
fabric, different colors
different parts of life
folding and unfolding

bruised, by
what’s been seen, felt
slightly broken, scarred
holes patched

she’s strong
unbreakable
bending like the willow
to life
