I am splintered
A million pieces of glass from the pain of the people that were supposed to love me
The lies and deceit created armor and walls for safety
I am ruptured
Unconditional love exists in a fantasy world unknown to reality
Screaming and abuses unfathomable for a child affecting my sanity
I am snapped
No apologies or acknowledgement took years to accept
Being the black sheep of the family with secrets continuing to be swept
I am fragmented
Only to find new chaos at such a young age
Alcohol and drugs intertwined with a little bit of rage
I am shattered
Bruises and battles mixed with the innocence of children
How do I show up and not become the villain
I am defeated
Escape to the next place in hopes to find new
Only for the actions to show up on queue
I am crushed
Courage to leave and to start all over
Promises of change and to do it all sober
I am discouraged
Fear of loneliness and inability to be seen
How can one love in a world that is so mean
I am dispirited
A million pieces of glass from the pain of the people that were supposed to love me
The lies and deceit created armor and walls for safety
I am broken
