I’m shattered, worn down, lost in the haze,
I forgot how to find myself in the maze.
Marks left on me—scratches, burns, and tears,
And I forgot how to heal through the years.
I gave so much love, so much laughter, too,
That I forgot the soul I’m meant to renew.
A soul that aches, that whispers and weeps,
Reminding me I’m not who I used to be.
The secrets I’ve kept, the grief that’s grown,
Yes, all this happened, and all I’ve known,
Was just me alone, with my thoughts to keep.
Yes, I wanted to shout, wanted to fight,
Wanted to feel, wanted to make it right.
But all I could do was murmur and sigh,
"You can be whole, but only in your dreams"
