I am rotten
I am plagued by my own soul
An anti-Midas causing ****
Everywhere I go.

I am broken
And no one understands
How lonely it feels to put your worth
In everyone else's hands.

I am sorry
If I have ever broken your heart
It makes me feel in control
To keep my barriers up.

I am happy
When I am in your arms
And all the pain it goes away
I'm protected from harm.

I am just me
I'm a wounded complicated thing
Although I may not show it much
I appreciate everything my life brings.
