I Am Doing So Much Better

- Eliana Birman (New Jersey, USA)

i am doing so much better

i am doing better

i am better

i am not well

i am not doing well

i am so much better but i am not yet good

is it worth it 

to keep trying

to get better

if i might never get

to good?

if i might never be whole again

i will never be whole again

i am broken

i am shattered

you cannot scrape away the glue

its drips will always remind you

i am not well

but i am not in pieces

i have picked them up one by one

sealed them tight

patched the holes

i am not whole but

i am doing so much better
