Darkness consuming my inner thoughts
breaking through all the hairline cracks
plastered together with life's tar moments
breaking me from the outside

Nothing seems to be left but an empty shell casing
void of emotion
when will I get my old self back?
you broke me

Taking away my innocence
no longer wrapped in white
but enveloped in shades of black and hate
the one person I thought I could trust

A skeleton among the living
scared to love and trust
wandering aimlessly in my shame
when it's you who should be ashamed

Breaking down your only daughter
I wake many nights screaming
losing more of myself with each passing day
struggling just to get by

Shedding blood, tears, and my soul
haunted eyes stare back in the mirror
a broken person is what left
forever struggling to stay alive
