Fragments – Amy Larsen

Maggies Centre, Poetry 1 Minute

Staring at my reflection in her shattered glass

Thank you to Amy Larsen for deciding to contribute her powerful poetry to both competition and blog. As Amy explains, she likes ‘to write poetry about struggles that people can relate to, to encourage empathy, because ultimately we all have more in common than we think.’ We appreciate Amy sharing ‘Fragments’ with us. 

Fragments

I judge the broken girl and hand her my hate.

–
Staring at my reflection in her shattered glass, 

I wonder why my heart hurts,

–
It is not her that I hate.

Amy Larsen, 18, Buckinghamshire

The power of poetry and well-crafted lyrics can quite literally move mountains. Let the light of all the talented poets who contribute to this blog illuminate the path ahead for us all. Sometimes we all might feel overwhelmed by life's trials and tribulations, but when we find our voice and reach out to the world, we realise we are never alone and can often find an inner strength we never knew we had.
