broken

I sit here

Broken

Crying for no reason

Nothing feels right

The world seems to be against me

Nowhere to go

No use trying anymore

For all there seems to be

Is dead ends

And shattered dreams

Love is but an illusion

That has me chasing pain

Hope makes me soar

So I can fall again

It’s all a sick joke

In someone else’s game

People teach hatred

And self-loathing

For fear of your power

And their own

Society crams spirits

Into nutshells

Where one size fits

No one

Preaching that we should destroy

Whatever doesn’t fit

Whatever we don’t understand

Or even scarier

That which we wish we were

Suffocated in a world of grey

Where all anyone talks about is

Black and white

Wishing I could add a touch of blue

A hint of gold

And a wave of green

I sit here trapped

Wanting to die

Because I feel beyond helpless

Low self-esteem takes hold

With chains of worthlessness

And I break my own wings

Believing I don’t deserve to fly

And I break my own wings

Believing I don’t deserve to fly
