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.
