“Bruised Souls Can Still Shine” – A Poem

Allyson Voerg Student Contributor, SUNY Oswego

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

I believed I was broken

beyond repair, riddled

with cracks that felt

like gaping chasms

in my heart.

But you

were the light that came

pouring through

those same cracks,

showing me the beauty

in my imperfections,

the strength

I grew in the darkness,

and just how blinding

I could become.
