shattered

With eyes sewn shut they try to show me the way,

but all they show me is that they're liars and fakes.

No matter how hard i try to forget what they said,

their words echo endlessly inside my head.

I won't surrender to what they want me to be,

i won't conform to be another in their corrupt fallacy.

There is a fire in me that only you can ignite,

to stop the pain and the hate that comes from their lies.

I've lost all sense of touch,i feel cold and distant,

it's getting harder to fight the dark,i'm so strained from resisting.

I've stumbled through life with a false sense of direction,

because of their deceit which caused a fatal infection that has broken

my heart and stolen my vision.

I'm looking for that stranger inside of me,

the only person that i've ever wanted to be.

And as i stand here now with my heart laid bare for all to see,

the only left in my way is a reflection of me....
