Beautiful Broken Creatures

Her mother spent her nights cradled in the arms of twinkling stars,

to escape the horrors that dwelled in her head.

Her father broke bone china crockery, bones and limbs,

to pacify the chaos in his soul.

Her sister binged on laxatives and purged all day long,

to silence the girl mocking her in the mirror.

Her brother was drunk on solitude and incarcerated in his own  silence,

believing that love was the only cure to restore his bliss.

 Her friends inhaled nicotine in the ruins of their long gone childhood,

to bring back the carefree days of cosmic freedom.

Her every loss had inflicted a crack on her sinking vessel,

and now she too was drowning in the sea of broken promises,

She had tried saving the creatures who were destined to be doomed,

but she bruised herself while picking up the remains of these Beautiful Broken Creatures.
