The Wanderers

Emma Hwang

Sitting at a station 

Waiting for your train 

Wanting you to fix us,

To make us perfect like before

How could we mend ourselves?

Afraid of tracing all our cracks,

Fearing all our shattered parts,

We were scared of getting cut.

Mornings bled to blurry sunsets

As we pursued your cries,

You led us into clouds and storms,

You kept us far from view

But when we turned around, 

And saw our trails behind us,

Our pieces became whole again,

Our hands held open cuts.
