Broken Scabs

By: L.Q. Murphy

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Broken Scabs is an engaging collection of poetry sneaking into the meaningful themes of failure, despair, rejection, desire, and heartbreak.

This book supports the principle that we relate through our difficulties, maze runs, trip-ups, embarrassments, dense heartaches, foolish mistakes, and drowning tears.

As you read into these poems, become lost in contemplation/thought and confidently absorb your reflections from broader considerations.

This book does not hustle temporary uplift derived from cute cloudy words; this book is about opening eyes and realizing that life is more challenging when we do not take the time to find community in the polarities of joy and pain.

Comfortably, permit the poetry in Broken Scabs an opportunity to help soothe fractured scabs oozing insecurities, loneliness, and doubt. The everyday disappointments and minor injuries of life will politely stand aside.

From chapter 5, called "Abstract Exposer":

the wind that pushes
is the wind that pulls
the heart i have
for lovers and fools

the moment now
is all I've known
the forever
is all that's known

the heart i have
that pushes and pulls
is the same both ways
for lovers and fools
