Lost and Broken

Shattered Oblivion

I can be happy
According to my mask
But what's inside is what really matters

Love, joy, peace
Hurt, brokenness, sadness
These emotions are a part of me
That doesn't mean they can't be silenced

The world and the people in it
Are blind to the things around them
They can't/don't/won't notice the sound
Of hearts being shattered

A million pieces of one heart
Pierce their surroundings
The weight of all that hurt
Could be contained no longer
Love, no more abounding

The sound of a thousand warriors
Marching into battle
They await their fates as they fight valiantly
And, yet, it still doesn't matter
The people lay asleep
And the world continues to ignore their feelings
They have fallen
And they are not honored

Through it all, few arise
The small bunch who escaped the masks
And those few spread out the love
While the world remains there watching
With eyes, endless wells of black
