I am beyond
Repair and
I am
Happy.

I am so far
Away from
This world and
I am happy.

I am
Broken
And
Happy.

I am
Broken
And
Not happy.

You ask
“What’s wrong?”
I say
“Nothing.”

Nothing is
Wrong.
I am broken
And happy.

The word ‘nothing’
Means everything.
Yet nothing
At all.

I am
Broken
Yet
Happy.
