broken.

i am broken
shattered and in pieces that can never be put back together again
lost, in the endless loop of my brain
playing tricks on me
like it's an illusion
that won't ever stop unless it takes over the host
i am broken
like the world we all live in
where people say there's still some good left in the world
and then somebody gets killed every minute
of every day
for eternity and beyond
i am broken
like my sanity
when it insists that it's still alive somewhere deep inside me
then I'm driven insane
and have to get put in a straight jacket
as i scream my lungs out
until i can't even breathe
just to see if somebody would still treat me good
i am broken
like my soul
because i have to have something in common with the thing
that fails to tell me
that i'm a dead human walking
amongst those who wish to kill me
beyond an inch of my life
i am broken
and there is no chance of fixing me
i will forever be
broken
