Shattered

We are The broken promises We are The tattered seams We are the Empty auditoriums We are the broken dreams I am the endless fire I am The shattered vase I am a broken record That you can never replace I am the the shameless violence From many years ago. Broken bones and battered heart Thrown against the wall. What I really needed was someone Who can see,that really I’m not broken Or half of who I used to be. Bring back my faith that not all men See a victim and a pawn. To hold me up when I want to fall Sometimes I’m just too weak from carrying it all.
