Broken

Sometimes it overwhelms me, the broken inside

His complete disregard for what he did to me.

How could he pretend so well?

Why didn’t I know ... nothing was real

I’ve tried so hard to break free of the overwhelming pain he has caused to my soul

I’ve tried to be strong, to learn about myself, to change and grow I thought somehow broken could be beautiful

Being in my head it’s such a lonely place to be

He has taken the darkest parts of me and magnified them

He dimmed the light that was burning inside me down to a flicker

I keep trying to find the light again

I don’t know how to be anything but broken

Will someone ever be willing to fight for me?

It’s time to let go. Give up the dream and be free

Loneliness is my new normal
