I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
I’m broken on the inside, as tears cascade, staining my face,
Tears that fall for nearly an hour,
Tears without a cause.
I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
Pills don’t really help, they just make it worse on the inside,
False smiles and guided thoughts,
That’s all they lead to.
I’m cracking, I’m cracking, I’m finally cracking,
I’m finally cracking on the inside, cracking like the mirror that’s cutting my feet,
I sway once, I sway twice, I’ve fallen ages before,
I’m stuck here, sitting on the floor.
I’m frozen, I’m frozen, I’m frozen…
I’m frozen here in time, at the end of peace, watching perfection slip away,
Sitting on the shore, watching the lies wash over me,
Its hard for me to see what’s really real here.
I’m frozen, I’m frozen, I’m frozen…
My dreams stand still, lined with the pageant stench of dried blood,
I light the match to relive the stench, hoping sulfur will cleanse the air,
Then I shed a tear as my dreams burn to the ground.
I’m broken, I’m broken, I’m broken…
I’m broken on the inside, hearts went black ages ago,
I’m slipping farther away from ‘the real’,
Please hold me and tell me you love me…
… tell me it will all be okay…
… you chase it all away.

Literature
Darkness
Darkness...
It's in every heart.
It keeps love and death apart.
The light pushes hard
and so does the dark.
When they push to hard your heart will burst.
So be sure to belive the light first.
Run from it.
Hide from it.
Whatever you do don't ever go all the way through.
Literature
The Darkness
Darkness is my comfort.
It protects me from my fears,
Hides me from them.
In the dark I can watch the light,
Without the light watching me.
The darkness understands me,
It does not judge me;
In the dark we all look the same.
It wards off those who fear the dark;
The ones that seek to harm me.
Darkness is my only ally,
In the war I fight alone;
The war in my head.
Literature
Demons
The worst kind of demons
Are the kind that are birthed within you,
The kind that claw and bite their way from
The inside.
Never stopping
Never resting
Never allowing you to
Catch your breath.
They are born from your memories
From your experience-
From life-
And they follow you
In darkness
And in light
Flitting from shadow to shadow
Casting their own
Destruction.
Demolishing from the core.
You run
And scream
And beg for release
Beg for a moment without
The slicing claws,
The snapping teeth
The shattering pain…
Until you realize you cannot escape
You cannot run
Or hide
Or even die
To rid yourself of them.
