This world has broken me. My heart has shattered, Thrown down by Neglect. My soul has become Ash, Burned by the lies. My empty shell now searches for life; Someone who can piece together the Shards That cut when people get too close. Ashes, that sting When blown the wrong way. Who can erase scars That everyone avoids, Like they believe I’d given them to myself, (Even if some I did) And I’ll do the same to them. But then again, Who wants ugly? Especially when Thousands Shine brighter. So why? Might I ask, Would you choose the burden of holding me together, Your light warding off The pain Scars leave behind. Your gentle nature Repairing the shards that are My heart. And though no one can unburn What now floats away, You gave me a soul- One that only longs For You. (Hallelujah, is now the song I sing.)

Ashes and Shards
This world has broken me. My heart has shattered, Thrown down by Neglect. My soul has become Ash, Burned by the lies. My empty shell now searches for life; Someone who can piece together the Shards That cut when people get too close. Ashes, that sting When blown the wrong way. Who can erase scars That everyone avoids, Like they believe I’d given them to myself, (Even if some I did) And I’ll do the same to them. But then again, Who wants ugly? Especially when Thousands Shine brighter. So why? Might I ask, Would you choose the burden of holding me together, Your light warding off The pain Scars leave behind. Your gentle nature Repairing the shards that are My heart. And though no one can unburn What now floats away, You gave me a soul- One that only longs For You. (Hallelujah, is now the song I sing.)
