Broken

Broken is not just a state of feeling but a return ticket

Broken is a reoccurring feeling that shatters

The view of this world into unreadable pieces

"I'm broken" is not what you say out loud

It's the thoughts you bury under your dense chest

You've come to terms with yourself,

The heaviness you feel was there always.

Except that it wasn't.

Broken is a rock under the pressure of a throbbing river

Pushed against all odds, losing some of itself along the way

Feeling broken by not feeling.

"What broke you so deeply?"

Scrounger? I saw myself as a nuisance

There's a thin layer between

What we hear and what we see

In between that layer our eyes cry

The pain in the chest and the sickness in the voice

If you lie, I will know.

I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough!

Look at me, look at the girl who struggles to belong

She is over under qualified at the eyes of the giants

Take a good look,

Or you may lose sight of her.
