We were meant to be Broken

We were meant to be Broken - Lucy Danto (McCullough Junior High School, 8th Grade)

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed

Hearts were meant for breaking

Eyes were made for crying

Hands were made for hurting

We were meant to break

And we were meant to heal

Our hearts will shatter a million times

Yet we must rise

We must pick up the fragments

And make these pieces whole again

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed

Because you have to bleed to heal

You have to break to be repaired

You have to cry to feel happy

You have to hurt to heal

Our hearts will shatter a million times

But we must rise

So take your broken hands

And pick up the fragments of your shattered heart

Blood is never beautiful

Yet we were made to bleed

And with time, wounds are made to heal.
