A broken mirror

A broken mirror that cuts the soul,
A broken mirror that holds control.
A broken mirror I wish to please,
A broken mirror that loves to tease.
A broken mirror I can't let go,
A broken mirror why does it show?
A broken me shattered and tired,
A broken me forever undesired.

Afraid

Afraid of whats created me afraid of what it made me,
Afraid of what I am afraid of what I can be.
Afraid of my dangerous thoughts and what they have to say,
Afraid of if I listen who might have to pay.
Afraid to cross the line afraid to speak my mind,
Afraid to go any deeper afraid of what I'll find.

Manic state

A dangerous mind and a broken soul,
Years of hiding had taken its toll. 
A cry for help mixed in with a joke,
I'm getting too weary to carry the yolk.
A sense of reality that slipping away,
I'd reach out for help if I wasn't afraid.
Hours awake locked inside my own brain,
thoughts in my head that aren't very sane.

The Prison Within Me

My mind is a suffocating cloud of words the ones that will never be spoken,
My mind is an endless void of noise so loud it can't be broken.
My mind is a giant graveyard where ambitions go to lie,
My mind is an endless list of things I'm too afraid to try.

The Secrets of An Apology

I’m so sorry,
It’s hard to say,
I’m so sorry,
Won’t take the pain away.
I’m so sorry,
It’s not often true,
I’m so sorry,
The words that hurt you.
I’m so sorry, 
The words you want to hear,
I’m so sorry,
The words we’ve come to fear.

A look at a damaged soul

Cluttered with words that will never be spoken,
Battered trust that forever is broken.
An aching heart that yearns for feeling,
A sense of joy that leaves the soul reeling.
An anger that's blinding but never shows,
A torrent of thoughts that never slows.
Cluttered with words I wish could be heard,
Battered trust that remains undisturbed.

Please don't go

Please won't you stay I'm scared to be alone,
What will it take broken heart broken bone?
To make you stay I'd gladly take the fall,
I'd do what it takes at your every beck and call.
please dont leave me, on my knees I'll plead,
Even if your presence causes me to bleed.
I'll tie back my hands I'll jump any height,
if only it means you stay in my sight.
I'll sew my lips I'll tighten the noose,
if only it means it's not you that I lose.

A broken me

Gritted teeth so words can't escape, 
thoughts and feelings I've learned to hate.
wandering eyes avoiding the mirror,
hiding myself till I can see clearer.
wanting love but afraid to trust,
wants and desires left to rust.
a broken me hidden behind,
a joke and a laugh I've designed.

Panic

A tired smile that's not quite yours,
A broken spirit behind closed doors.
Your heart is hurt your head is busy,
Your hands in your hair you're feeling dizzy.
You yearn for help but would never ask,
You pretend you're okay it's a heavy task.
Wanting the question "How are you?"
Wanting the question, when it comes you're untrue.
Hating the thought of being alone,
Hating the feelings never to be shown.

Ode and owed

Ode to you who ripped me apart,
Owed to you the scars on my heart.
Ode to you who broke my trust,
Owed to you the soul you crushed.
Ode to you who never will see,
Owed to you I'll never be free.
Ode to you I wish was gone,
Owed to you the lines I've drawn.
