It shattered into a million pieces
Shot daggers through my heart
My brother and his anger
Watched his whole life fall apart

Bruised, broken, battered
the moon shone it's beam
Shot arrows off the glass
Aimed it's bow right at me

Silence stood in place
Where once their was a clatter
His ghost a solemn gray
A mug; my brother - shattered

I know I can't help them
So why do you try
Why do you spend hours
Awake at night

Why do you tremble
Why do you scream
The pain isn't yours
It's not what it seems

You stand there alone
Starfish in hand
You try and and throw far
But it stays on the land

Your arm becomes sore
Your heart becomes tired
Even your conscious
Is no longer wired

You're breaking alone
Deathbeds begun
But everything's worth it
If I can save one
Inspiration from the story of the starfish. If you've never read it I highly recommend:

A child: so happy
Each day to day
She smiles 400 times
And each one stays

An adult: so broken
if happy then empty
But the times we smile
Average to twenty

I was told frowning caused wrinkles
When you were sad
Your childhood was wasting away

But now I know all emotions have a cause
That crying is only natural
Sadness isn't what makes our world turn gray
For all of those who believe that they need to constantly be happy -- don't

For those who still believe
Happy Fourth of July
And for those who lost hope
Happy firework night

Mirror mirror on the wall
Reflect my sorrows reflect them all
And when I cry when I scream
Reflect the way I think of me

Mirror mirror on the wall
Reflect the way in which I fall
But catch my teary eyes in sight
My eyes of gold reflect the light
