Fragments Of Her

In the war against herself, she’s outnumbered 
She’s hoping she passes away in her slumber
She curses the sun for shining loud and bright
But hopes to grow wings and finally take flight

Hollow, chaotic yet empty expressions 
Emotions that constantly fight for attention
Her eyes are filled with tears, her vision hazy
Her spark is fizzing out, and people call her lazy

Betrayal, loneliness, detachment, and confusion 
After trials, these are her emotional conclusions
Slowly but surely, pieces of her will fade away
She’ll escape her cage, and you’ll beg her to stay
