We all feel broken-Sometimes
Somewhere along our paths
We all need to cry-sometimes
When onto the edge we grasp

Sometimes we’re lonely
Sometimes we’re lost,
Sometimes feel a little stony,
As life’s shadows upon us cast,

I’m my biggest enemy
Have You ever felt that way?
Sometimes I’m unfriendly,
With the words that I do say,

I’m my biggest bully
Have you ever hurt yourself?
Sometimes- I know I’m being silly,
But with words I beat myself,

I’m my biggest flaw,
My biggest blemish and my biggest heartache,
As I at my surface claw,
And my own happiness I take,

I’m my biggest monster,
And I know you’ve been there too,
Sometimes- you scare yourself,
Sometimes- haven’t a clue?

We all feel broken-Sometimes
Somewhere along our paths
We all need to cry-sometimes
When onto the edge we grasp

Sometimes- we’re so empty,
We’re Barely even a shell,
Sometimes- we pretend to be contently,
So that Sometimes- no one can tell.
