Chasm

And so it opens once more
That ever-dark chasm
Stitched so neatly together
A wound that never fully heals
Stitched and re-stitched countless times
It will never disappear
Swallowing the light in me
I sink down that spiral
Lying on the floor
Pleading for it all to go away
I don’t want to feel like this.

It was meant to be a happy day
With celebrations all around
But I can’t even fake a smile
And there’s no-one here to see,
Me try and keep it together
So I fall on my own
With the cheers drowning out my tears.

Sweet Relief

Feel everything you need to feel

It’s ok to be broken

You know how this works

You’ve hit a low patch again

It might last for a while

But it won’t be forever.

 

Lying on the floor

Trying to tell yourself you don’t need help

It feels like everything inside is breaking

But tonight it’s ok to be broken

Let the pain fall from your eyes

Scream out the anger you hold within

 

Hiding away in a cocoon

Today is not the day to be social

You need this relief from the dark

Just so you can be normal again

Because right now, you are not okay

But you know you will be again.

Broken Pieces

I’m not as broken as I used to be
I still have a shattered heart,
But lately it hasn’t felt as sharp
Slowly it’s moulding back together.

There’s no one else in the picture
I’ve just learnt how to put myself back together
So maybe the next time it gets broken
It might not hurt so much.

I hope that one day all these scars will fade
And I’ll know then I’m where I belong
But until that day comes along
I’ll keep mending my broken pieces.

Down But Not Out

It’s time to get off the ground
Because I’ve been beaten
But I’m not done yet.

It’s time to get back in this fight
Because I’m bruised
But I have not been broken.

You can try and kick me now,
But I will keep fighting
To rise above it all.
I will continue to fall at times,
But I will always get back up.
You cannot hold me back,
The world is waiting for me.

Cheater

I know where I’ve been,
And what I’ve come through.
I also know I deserve better than you,
We all did.

So now I hope you remember,
All those words I said,
I tried to show you what you’ve done,
For all of us.

You can play dumb if you want,
Pretend you didn’t know the lies you told.
You broke my trust, but not my heart,
You never had it.

I know what I said to you in anger,
And you’re just another fly on my windshield,
You better learn the lessons I tried to teach you,
For the sake of all those you’ve hurt.

I know I don’t owe you anything,
But thankfully you admitted you were wrong,
So I can move on knowing,
I tried to help those who will be next.
