Broken

I snapped in the same way a branch breaks off a tall, tall tree. But it was not the kind of break created quickly by a gusty storm. It was the kind of break caused slowly by the weight of winter snow. Either the weight grew to be too much, or I was never strong enough in the first place.

Now I lay broken.

What does brokenness feel like to you?


"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken spirit and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise."
-Psalm 51:17
