Everyday I awake
"Turn a new leaf"
And with every breathe I take
A hint of depression released
"But who's gonna love me like this"
"How will I get it done like this"
The thoughts ring as I drown in
A sigh of despair
As every ounce of happiness spared
Is shattered by the question,
Am I broken?

Hours flew then I think
"Maybe it doesn't have to be so hard"
"Maybe I do have a chance"
But as I lay flat
Beside the wrinkled sheets
I realise, it was all a lie
That I never existed when alive
And nothing I own is worth a dime
Not even my heart
The one place that's always stabbed
For I live a life where nothing's history
And I never think realistically
A life of delusions and misery,
Am I broken?

I can't take this anymore
Life's kicking me out the door
Like "Bye your time's done"
"We came for you and you couldn't run"
And they had said life would be fun
But it seems easier taking it with a gun
Then hope slips in
"Maybe I am the prize"
"For her who we're soulties"
But it all sunk in, and I realised
How they buy me at a low price
And in a click, all hope was gone
Laying down, eyes closed
I began to fall
Relapsing into my blackhole
And so as my mind yields
I beg to ask the God's above,
Am I broken?
