I'm broken...


This little poem is linked to week 127 of Saturday Centus.  The six word prompt is in bold.

To read other offerings using this six word prompt, just click here.
Sometimes you break
Sometimes you bend.
Why can’t you simply understand?
Sometimes the trying’s not enough…
Sometimes your life can get quite rough…
 “I’m fine, just fine!
It could be worse!”
…but sometimes (oh)…
Don’t you want to say,
“It could be much, much better today!”?
Everything’s awful.
Everything aches.
And…
Sometimes you bend
Sometimes you break.

    Oh, and I took something out of our paper to send to you, but I can't find where I stored your address, so could you please send it to me?

    I can so relate.
    I've just realised that I've been much to hard on myself when doing the Saturday centus. I've always written EXACTLY the number of words prescribed. I didn't realise less was ok :)

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
