Breaking
Here I am again but this time it isn’t really me
I am slowly dying inside
Why doesn’t anyone see?
I am unraveling and ready to break
Unable to understand the emotions inside of me
Unsure of what causes my heart to constantly ache
As if a part of me is missing and will never be found
If only I could go back and find it
If time could be rewound
Confused and weary of what it is that I need or want
At night I close my eyes
And run from my demons who continue to haunt
Each day I am woken only to find myself all alone
A tear falls down my face
A constant sadness nobody should ever have known
The pain holds me and controls me as if I’m tied to it with strings
Holding me up at times while others it drops me down
Holding me hostage with the madness it brings
Contradicting feelings confuse me causing insanity to break free
Uncertain how to escape the madness
Which lives inside of me
The walls cage me and hold me prisoner to my own hell
I no longer bother to try to escape it
There are no exits as far as I can tell
I travel down roads which twist and turn without a beginning or an end
Alone I am breaking
Without any means to mend
Wounds are too deep to heal and will never go away
The scars they left behind decorate my heart and soul
They dance all around me with sadness and fear every day
Nobody realizes that I am not doing alright
I smile when they are present
And die a little bit more while I am alone at night
