DARKEST NIGHTS **COMPLETE**

Broken

I'm tired of this,

These feelings that fill me.

The future that I may not even hold,

The pain that is still yet in my heart,

The broken mask that is shattered.

My heart is like glass;

It'll shatter at the slightest touch.

So now I must protect it.

For if I break it again,

I won't be able to fix it.

My mask is broken.

If I try and fix it,

I won't be able to go back

And I'll never be the same

My mask,

Is my shield.

It protects me from others,

So others can't see the truth

And the pain.

My pain,

Won't ever leave.

It sticks to the edges Of my heart,

Not intending to leave.

Sometimes I don't want it to leave,

I want to sit alone,

And wrap in the sadness and let go

For once and be free.

But I know freedom will never be a choice.

For my bounds are too strong

To be broken,

And the chains are too heavy

For me to fly.

My future is hazy,

I'm not even sure if there's anything there

To look to,

Or even if I'll be here when the time comes

To head towards

Whatever the future holds.

Till then my thoughts will stay to myself,

My heart I will guard,

My mask will be my shield,

My emotions will surround me,

And I'll stay here chained,

Unable to spread my broken wings

And fly ...
