If hearts can break to mend again,
Your free to break my heart again.

It's not who you are or who you know,

What you wear or where you go.

It's not your friends or family,

Its words on a page,

In this community.

The words we use can settle scores

or open doors.

So hear a heartfelt plea from me,

Let's stop the wars and do poetry.

I wish I knew how I felt,
but I don't.

I'm getting more and more numb,
that's not good,
that's never good.

I don't want to get erratic
and paranoid.
I don't need to feel this broken.
It's not broken.
I'm not broken.

Why?

I can't understand.
Inside myself I'm at war,
a war I don't control.
I don't know what I'm fighting for,
I only know I'm battling against myself.

But why?

I can only ask that.
Maybe if I knew where to go and find myself,
all the pieces that I've never meet.
But I don't know where to start and I'm still.
And I don't care,
I really don't because if I did I would do something,
but I don't.

I sit here and I wait,
I wait for it to go away.
And another day is born, so I can pretend everything's alright,
night arrives and all demons come out to play.
It’s all my fault.

Why do I do this?

I do it to myself and it's real.
It's not in my head anymore,
it's everywhere.
Encrypted in disastrous hellos
and peaceful goodbyes.
They are everywhere.

One day I'll have to face it all,
I won't have anywhere to run, it will either
**** me or make me.

She sat at the window sill,
dreamed of a better world,
where she wouldn't need to pretend
to dream of light
to alienate the darkness,
the screaming whispers
of broken melodies.

She sat at the window sill,
dreamed of a better humanity,
to escape the cruelty
and the unknown cries
of whom crumbled her vision.

She sat at the window sill,
and dreamed of something else but herself,
because thinking about others was easier,
felt important and unattainable.  

She sat, and she dreamed of a better self,
where she would celebrate her wins,
like she reminds her losses.

She sat at the window
and was herself.
Static and **** of mendacity,
of prejudice.

She's not broken,
But she needs guidance.

She's not weak,
But she's fragile.

She's you,
and me.

**She's humanity.
