    I'M BROKEN

    I’M BROKEN

     

    MY LIFE SEEMS SHATTERED

    WITH A BODY HURTING

    NO LONGER BURSTING WITH LIFE

    RUPTURED

    INTO TINY SPLINTERS

    SMASHED LIKE POTATOES

    IN PIECES, SOMETHING NOW MISSING

    ALMOST COLLAPESED

    BUT NOT DESTROYED

    NOT PULVERIZED, YET CRUMBLED

    SLIGHTLY DEFECTIVE

    BUT NOT CRIPPLED

    SEEMING CRUSHED

    BUT NOT MANGLED, OR DISMEMBERED

    MY MIND FRAGMETARY

    BUT WHOLE, INTACT AND SOUND

    NO MONEY, JUST BUSTED

    CLOTHES SHREDDING

    SHOE’S IN DISREPAIR

    EVERYTHING ON THE FRITZ

    NOTHING REGULAR

    SO WHO IS SCREWED UP

    NOT ME

    I’M JUST BROKEN

    STILL INTELLIGENT

    JUST ON THE BLINK

    GIVE ME BACK THOSE PEICES

    SO I DON’T GET THROWN AWAY

    SO I CAN BE HAPPY TODAY

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
