Broken Inside

Why is there so much chaos and discord eating me alive?

Sorrow beyond measure leaving no choice but to withdraw and hide

Pain so physical within my chest I would rather have died

Uncontrollable sobbing and ragged breaths reveal I am broken inside

A cracked mask attempts to keep the secret of tears I have cried

False statements of moving on; pretending no one know that I have lied

I cannot find a way to progress past the anguish although I have tried

Every fiber of my being is exhausted from the wounds that left me broken inside

I feel alone even in a crowd; nowhere to turn; no one in which I can confide

I need someone to hear me, to reach out to but my hands were tied

Stand tall in spite of the many pieces I am in because I still have my pride

Too much loss and tragedy have made it impossible to what is broken inside
