broken

boards

crack further. 

a broken girl sings out

to the world

her broken hymn

in a voice 

that is neither 

graceful nor strong.

a broken boy yells

to his world,

down on his knees 

looking out to the universe 

composing his broken hymn 

that may just be 

a whisper in the wind.

as broken girls

find broken boys

and the whole world 

is perfect.
