Skies So Colorful
She may have broken
Into a million pieces
But that doesn't mean
She isn't happy with
How it all ended
Her Skies are colored with
Shades of Gold and Red
Clouds laced with silver swirling overhead
With every experience she has had
There was something worthwhile
Making the sky just a bit more colorful
She still loves every friend she has ever had
Remembering every single one
Each of the memories holding a place in her heart
Smiling and hoping they are doing well
She never resented any of them for leaving
They are all still good friends to her
And they would always be no matter what
Even if she was merely a stepping stone
She would gladly be there to help them
Get across the river they needed to cross.
As they left her, she only hoped they were content
And not as broken as they were
Before they had crossed that river
As long as they were happy
She was happy
This was the life she lived
Finding the broken hearted
And helping them get across a river
They weren't able to cross on their own
Then she would let them go
After she helped them on their way
She wouldn’t change a thing if she could.
Helping these people find something better
Than they previously had
Was what made her happy.
Nothing could ever take that feeling away.
So no, she wouldn’t change a single thing
This was her job after all
Helping the broken find a place
Where they could finally smile without faking it
Once they have all found a place
Where their heart can stay
She will finally back away.
That worn stepping stone
With Skies so colorful above it
Will finally let the river overtake it

Poignant, powerful and an emotional, honest message. Admitably, the opening lines were a bit cliched" broken into a million pieces" is overused... But, then you moved into gorgeous, unique language and vibrant imagery. Overall, the poem is nicely written, thought- provoking and shows skillful technique.
