Those broken parts of us
We hide from all
So they cannot see
We hide them in that place
Where broken hearts make a case
They cry for justice
And plead for grace
Because they already know
They’ve been dealt
A hard and cruel blow
(C)- Vivian Zems
Marian is hosting today on Real Toads with a prompt to be inspired by the song: ‘Cruel’ by St Vincent. This is my take on it.

I feel that we all have a little box with broken things we will never show.

I agree. We hid those broken parts deep inside where they will never be seen. Excellent rhymes in this.

I agree with the idea expressed here – so often we strive to hide our broken hearts away from sight. I wonder why that is.

Most of us do not even acknowledge our broken parts, buried so deep inside. Liked your take on the prompt

Sometimes the broken parts speak up and we either heal or devise new ways of silence.

Well done.
Been there, done that.
Though we hide those things
There are those who are able to see.

You’re right. Nothing is ever really hidden- there are always clues left behind.
