A life filled with uncertainty
That spills upon a page
A heart bled dry and empty
Torn apart through its age

So young and yet so tired
Songs unsung, as poems wither unspoken
A mind lost and uninspired
A soul fractured - feeling broken

How long can one live in misery
How wrong can things grow to be
How long can this burden be carried
How long until I am free?

Do I keep my self caged
In a past I can't change?
In fear of the future - All that's left is rage
Have I become deranged?

What IS insanity
What is normalcy?
What is this? Is it vanity?
No - Because I don't love me...

So how do I continue
To pretend that I am okay?
Lies are not a cure for what's true
How can I face the day?

When does surviving
Turn into thriving
When do the shadows and pain
finally fade or wane

Making a way for a new day
without the burdens of the past
or the heavy fear that love won't last
How - When - Why all questions carved on my heart
When does life become art
How do I make a new start
Why was my life torn apart.
