This is a collection of poems told from fictional view points. They are not about me.

Perfectly Flawed
I discarded my halo eons ago,
another lifetime when I was soft
and destructible.
You see my ragged wings and
the scars across my knees, long healed,
and misinterpret everything.
You can't comprehend my refusal
to let you fix me,
save me.
Why can't you understand that
I'm not fucking broken?


Free verse. Written 17 June 2016.
