    About this ebook

    We can't always fix what's broken, but what we can do is pick up the pieces and shape them into something new and more beautiful than before. Those pieces might not fit together as we had originally hoped, but they do become seamless when put together as our creator truly intended. This book of poetry is just a glimpse into broken moments that have slowly been transforming life into the masterpiece that it should be.

      It is August of the year 2000, and I am cold. I know the sun is shining outside, but there are no windows in the courtroom. The lighting is subdued, darker in the back where spectators sit and lighter in the front where tragedies play out—like a the

      ONE of my lecturers told us we shouldn’t rely on hope to get us through difficult times because it creates a false sense of security. I got it but I just can’t accept the idea that life without hope is better. So many stories in this edition show why
