You are not broken

I promise you, little girl

You are not broken

Your heart feels broken, shattered into unrecognizable pieces

Your soul is heavy, dragged by your body against its will

Your head hangs low, shoulders carrying the mountain of your pain

The weight of your life is crushing

Crushing your spirit and your will

You are not broken, only suffering

It is not broken to suffer

And suffering is not, should not be, always.
