unnoticed

Twigs are thin and easy to break 
But once broken you'll know it's too late 
You can’t fix it so don't try I’m fine so don’t cry you can't fix me 
I've been broken, my hearts been stolen. 
Then stomped on and thrown away.
Some pieces are lost. Others are gone 
I’m numb inside. It's all pretend. 
Sometimes I wish It all would end. 
Don't shed your tears for me. Don't say goodbye 
Sometimes I wish I could fly 
Fly away from every thing fly from earth fly from pain from all the hurt
Go to heaven And feel no pain 
See golden gates And then I pray
To not wake when I sleep
For him to take the pain and not me 
But god never answered the prayers I cried 
So the devil did and I tried to take my life 
It didn't work and pained me to no end 
I tried to better myself but it never worked until today
Now all my pain has gone away There's still an ache 
Just not as strong. The holes in my heart are filled with love
I realized I don't need a boy to love and that family was always enough

Wow, Mckinney, the way you compare twigs breaking to a heart shattering, so raw and real. Loved the turn from pain to healing and finding love in family, that hit differently!
