my wings are bruised

my heart is tattered

my mind is mush

and nothing matters

 

i feel hopeless

i feel helpless

i am useless

 

my body wants to cry

the pain writhes deep inside

aching to be released

only i continue to hide

 

i am hurt

i am confused

i feel angry

 

where were you

when i needed you

where were you

when i hurt

 

i feel betrayed

i feel neglected

i am broken

 

all because of me.
