i am still

it seems like the broken thing in me has settled comfortably at the bottom of my rib cage. it lies there undisturbed and sometimes i forget that its there.

and then, something shakes me or moves me or i just get up to fast, and what i thought was healed stabs me all over again.

not healed, just covered over with more recent whirlwind worries.

i am still broken from something that doesn't matter, except to me it matters a great great deal.
