Broken.

Remember when you little brother broke your favorite toy?
You were devastated.
You cried until Dad promised he would fix it, but that never happened.
You forgot soon enough, and that once-favorite toy eventually got thrown out.
With new and better toys, you never thought of it again.

Remember when you fell off the slide at school?
Remember managing to break your arm?
You had never hurt so much.
You cried until Mom picked you up.
And then the doctor put that bright blue cast on it.
It still hurt a bit, but you forgot soon enough about the horrible pain you once felt.

Remember moving?
You were shattered.
You had no idea it would ever be that hard.
You cried for three months, until you finally made a friend.
But after that, moving didn't matter so much.
You forgot about your old friends, and slowly stopped emailing them every week.
The pain of moving was gone.

Remember times with no friends?
You didn't think you could get up for school.
You begged your parents not to make you go.
Nothing was worse than eating lunch alone.
Nothing was worse than the word alone.
People were mean.
But soon enough, you did fit in with someone.
You forgot about being alone. You forgot about mean people.

Remember that broken heart?
No one had ever made you hurt that much before.
You vowed you would never get over it.
But soon you realized he wasn't worth it.
And neither was the pain.
You left it behind, and forgot about him, and all the hurt he caused you.

Somehow, you are still feeling pain.
For some reason you think that this one is worse than all of the others.
That nothing and no one will ever be able to make it better.
Once again you are lost and confused.
Life is changing and falling apart right in front of you.
Everything is broken.
But soon,  you will realize that this is stupid, really.
You will forget soon enough, and this pointless pain will be gone.
This broken will be left alone forever.
