Broken Glass

The truth of the matter is it's not getting easier for me

To get up every single morning; debating if I should breathe

Despite my hopeful assumptions of a better tomorrow

I feel like I'm getting absolutely no where with these promises.



Everyday is exactly the same; waking up with the same pulsing pain

My thoughts are racing through my head; they're starting to ricochet

My breath is short, my lungs are collapsing and I'm running out of ideas,

As to how I should bother reacting to these mentally consuming pleas.



I'm clawing at the broken glass for some sort of freedom from this chaos

But in all truth here, every hope I've had is seemingly almost lost

The broken pieces reflecting on a better life I find myself thirsting for

With eyes that are so tattered when I find them gazing into me; they bore



I've held in the voice I thought was gone for so damn long

Eventually it'll release with the most chatostrophic and piercing song

The song of the dysfunction I pray I could one day say I had escaped

Instead of embracing it like I did back within those darkened days.



[of my life]
