Poem: Pieces of my Heart

What is the sound 
of a heart breaking? 
A soul shaking 
with tremors 
of terrible finality? 
The most radical change 
is usually the one 
that is never heard
by outside ears.
A life decision
to go on another path
from what others
expect as the status quo
irrevocable steps
unmoving words
that you cannot take back
no matter the cost
Try to glue your life
back together
but the pieces
no longer fit perfectly
but there is a point
where those cracks
become badges of honor.
