Overcoming Troubled Waters

Broken

I want to put my feelings in writing

But my inner demons keep fighting

My spirit is broken

And my mind repeats the words of broken promises spoken

I attempt to put down my blade

And then I realize my scars will never fade

This has trapped me in a cycle so dark I'm blinded

Blinded by the pain that has made me so sorrowful minded

I want to be happy but I don't remember how

I don't even remember what it feels like to be happy now

I'm pain filled and I've lost hope

I'm tired broken and I don't know how to cope

I'm trying not to sink as I'm pushed to the brink

And I hope someone can understand

And lend a helping hand

Because what I'm doing I can't do it anymore

And I know if I don't get help I'll never make it to shore.
