Broken and Afraid
I'm a broken soul
Broken and bruised.
I just want to be whole
Instead of self abused.
I'm alone right now
Afraid of my brain,
Trying to learn how
To cope with my pain.
I need you to know
How lucky I feel
To have ever met you,
To know you're here.
But still I'm lost
In my life's grand journey.
To the side I've been tossed
And I fell to a gurney.
But the doctors can't fix
What's inside your head.
It just precious tricks.
They pretend with the meds.
I tell them it's worked.
I say that it's helping.
But I still have urges;
I'm still feeling crazy.
I'm alone in my mind,
Though not in my pain.
I just want to grind
My life down the drain.
I feel so stupid.
You're not oblivious.
But I'm in love still,
although it's ridiculous.
Feedback would be appreciated.
