Torn

Somewhere along the way, I became torn.

Like the page from a book,

the most important one missing.

 

I became me, who I am today,

because of being torn.

Is it too hard for you to

understand?

 

This is me, a HOLLOW shell that once

use to be full of love

and joy

and happiness.

 

Where did it all go wrong?

I ask myself the same question.

It didnt go wrong.

This was meant to be 

for me.

 

I am a human.

Made to feel what I feel.

Its okay. Im okay.

NOT really that okay

but okay.

 

Ive lived through it.

Survived.

Hurt.

Felt what it feels like to

burn inside.

 

My soul is forever searching

for that one thing 

that can bring it back

to its rightful

owner. 

 

Alone. I know this because of

choice. My choice.

My fears.

Anxiety.

Torn like that page that needs

to be found but

cant.
