Change Is coming The day just broke,
Change Is coming The day just broke, Thought the dawning light would dispel hopeless hope. I just woke, my dreams lie scattered, A puzzle with missing many pieces 'When would each jagged corner align?' I ask, I’ve tried.

What if I told you that everything
What if I told you that everything you believed was a lie, And everything you ignored was the truth? What if the cracks in you don’t mean you’re broken But a window for light to break through What if you stopped asking, “Why me?” And start answering, “Why not me?” What if this Piece was meant for you... #SpokenWordPoetry #Poetry #HelloNircle #SpokenWordContest #NircleFeed #PoetryCommunity
