Broken
You treated me like nothing
When I was your everything
I thought I loved you
I was wrong
People said I needed to grow up
So
I did
I don’t trust
I can’t trust
loyalty is earned
Not given
Pride is driven
Power is everything
Needing to thrive is a crave
Emotions lost
Only given in the game
As payment
Until you talked to me
You said I was different
I gave you trust
Not much
Just enough
And you held on to it
You held on to me
Kept me safe
I was like I used to be
Laughing
Smiling
There was a emptiness
And you filled it
I’m not broken anymore
Not broken

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
