Broken

April 25, 2022

Why can’t everyone see how broken I am inside? How terrible I am? The monster behind my eyes

My face is a lie my smile is fake I give up nothing but always take and take

My hands are made of fire burning everyone I touch I want to get close but I know the cost is too much

It’s safer for me to stay away to hide away deep inside no one will ever get hurt if all I do is run and hide

They would run away too if they could see the real me the monster that destroys everything leaving ruin as far as the eye can see

That’s what I am when my mistakes are all I see but no one else can see them they see a different me

A me that wants to change A me that shines so bright They see a better me A spark of hope in the night

I don’t want to be broken I don’t want this to be what people see So I’ll keep working hard every day because I want to be that better me
