I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have walked in shoes that were not mine, no matter the color or the size, I have had to climb hills and mountains, swim rivers and drink water from other people’s fountains.
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
My tears have mingled with yours, hers, and theirs, I have had to fight battles that were not always mine, and I have been on bended knees and lain supine. I have made journeys that I did not pack for, beaten bruised and sore,
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTUFUL
I have hidden my face behind hands that have worked and toiled, planted seeds in unfertile soil. I have screamed and yelled, went through storms and un-necessary hell.
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have given my life’s blood, the skin of my back, but I have never given up and never looked back, I have not forgotten where I have been, and some of the predicaments that I have been in, I have lain in some dark places and encountered un-familiar faces.
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have faced my enemies without weapons; I have gone into battles un-prepared, frightned alone and scared. I have faced ghosts from my past, been wounded and thought I would not last.
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have given up apart of myself, struggled, dragged and had no help. I have looked in the mirror and saw images that I did not like, had to run and even fight, I have cried come dusk, and dawn, been ridiculed and scorned.
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have carried burdens that were heavy on my back, faced the music, and told that I was not 100% black. I have been laughed at, and slapped in the face, encounterd bigotry and hate. I have given my heart un-selfishly only to have it thrown back at me, you know what though?
I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT I AM BEAUTIFUL
I have seen a glimpse of beauty that’s me, have been empowered and I am free.
I have looked inside and discovered a woman you knew nothing about, one that was always there, soul emancipated and laid bare. I see a woman that is smiling back at me, she has always been there, just in the background, but myself I have found. I HAVE BEEN BROKEN BUT BY GOD I AM BEAUTIFUL.

i really really really enjoyed this poem and know how you can feel like this i think that your words represent what every woman goes through whether be a racial thing or just labels in general. I really enjoyed the part that started as"i give my lives blood" that really got me you say what many of us can't put into words. I really enjoyed it and keep it coming for those of us that can't put it in words.
thank you yours truely,

I admire people who have the guts to fight
on and have hope even when all things
seem to be hopeless. I can see you are
one of those people. Your writing is very
good. Good luck , Truly , Doug |
