Broken

When someone is broken Don't use words to break them more For the cracks are all ready exposed And can hold no more Sometimes what's holding Is thinner than hair Used bubble gum Burnt wax Something barely there Breakage comes from many things Old age, illness, addiction Sometimes your just tired Have little fight left inside So watch for those signs Let sleeping dogs lie Because sometimes all it takes Is one thing to break the camels back When fighting clawing climbing Barely putting one foot in front of another The hardest thing to do is get back up Be careful what you say You never know sometimes Just how close to that edge How far to the end Of the rope they hang Disguise is easy to pretend All is well when it isn't Not showing weakness Is a learned behavior Trying to be a survivor And dig is exhausting And sleep is all that's needed Permanent or not Be careful with your words Sticks and stones Is a fallacy Made up by someone broken
