Broken
How did I become so broken?
It's hard to trust.
It's hard to love.
It's hard to have faith.
Everyday I awaken
All I want is to stop the aching.
I fight my emotions down.
Maybe today is the day I can get off this merry-go-round.
I get up on my own two feet.
I put on a smile so no one can see.
Maybe today I will find what I seek.
Maybe today is the day I defeat.
When will it end?
The child cries.
How did it begin?
The women sighs.
