redefined

we met when we were broken down
we tripped and fell and broke our crowns

sent where all the misfits land
all we wanted was a helping hand

felt turned against by society
we lost the game of sobriety

broken bones heal over time
a wounded heart is less inclined

torn down like posters off the wall
knees bleeding from pleading unanswered calls

death by thousand cuts cause pain
created bonds that will never break

both guiding each other back to ourselves
better versions we all can feel good about now

angels disguised in earthly form
deeper than friendship, a sisterhood born

solitude giving way to growth
in very last place thought of by most

patchworked together from leftover scraps
alone - just a spare. together - unmatched

now seeking comfort there’s warmth to be found
a blanket of armor sewn tightly, then bound
