As life goes on
I've come to believe
That everyone I love
Everyone I've met
And everyone I ever will meet
Is a broken bird
TV Tropes defines a broken bird
"These characters (often female) are coping with a Cynicism Catalyst, a Despair Event Horizon, or a Dark and Troubled Past by becoming as cynical, stoic, and/or badass as possible"
So to the friend who knows little
Souls seem happy and unharmed
But there's always a backstory
Something dark and hidden
2:59 AM I'm talking with a friend
About a beloved person
Whose soul struggles
And she told me all the things I didn't know
All hidden behind a demeanor so resilient
That it worries us
And all this
And all the stories I've come to know
Make all my bitching
Kvetching
Complaining
Crying
Convulsing
Aching
Retching
Catharsising
Three AM Poetry Writing
Seem positively selfish and dumb
Because all the world
Is made up of
Is broken birds
Whose stories we don't yet know
So who am I
To publicize my weakling hurt
I've come to believe
That everyone I love
Everyone I've met
And everyone I ever will meet
Is a broken bird
