Broken was more of metaphor than anything else... No one is broken, just no one is perfect.

I wish this was titled something like "Pot responds to Kettle". Since it is a poem (and maybe since I lack imagination) when I started reading the poem I hoped for a mirror, or a highly polished surface to actually "reflect" that conversation. That said, there are some nice images in this. The final stanza is weak, poetically and emotionally. I think the poem would be stronger without it. Well done, overall.

I differ with Desejo about the title, but she's spot on about the last stanza. I found myself saying "This is really interesting" until then. Still a good read though.

feel the first two lines should be italicized and made into one line, as if a quote

I'm not broken - just badly made. I am ambivalent about the last four lines, but feel the lines:

I demand a life that only perfect pieces deserve,

A place of honor, and respect and desire.

should say something else, 'demand' ? 'want' perhaps

but def 5 for interest
