I Am the Shattered Dream To Me

Where is my place Where do I roam Is there a home out there for me As the old me looks past the young me seems cheated The young me had no chance yesterday Only today I've seen the reflection that should have been It stares back at me with anger With so much regret I look back With no answers I can't seem to understand who I should be I was raised in fear and negativity The words I wish to speak I can only write Because I am still scared of what you all would think This blank screen has been my best friend for years My writings teach fear as i search for closer To a broken.life Pieces of turmoil Sharp edges of a forgotten mirror It don't lie only shows truth I try to avoid it I make So many excuses I've been in my own way for years When I look back I see very little drive I have always been the child trapped in a man's body It cost me all of what I was no substance It's the tomb I lie in everyday Buried below all this pain I am the demon of me that I always fear I am the ghost of my existence I am what you would call the undiscovered dream The ultimate failure in life the premonition of nothing has changed I am the shattered dream so unfair to me.
