Falling Apart

Tattered and torn
Old and worn
I don't care anymore
Turn off the light
It's too bright
When you leave close the door

I need some time
To be on my own
I'll sing a rhyme
You've never known
I'll be labelled maimed
named and shamed
Just the usual
hate untamed

Categories broken
Words unspoken
I'll be me
You be you
I'll do my thing
You do yours

But you'll never know
what it all means
The tears, the thoughts
the broken dreams.
