Young and broken Dreams left hopeless A life that was stolen By people who said that they loved me By people who said they would stand by me Just a husk of a shattered soul A lost vision I'm out of control Drowning in my own conscience Drowning in the immeasurable amount of lies I've been told What am I doing Why can't I breathe The air is suffocating Why can't I be okay It's just hollow words A comfort to those Those who can't understand the pain The trauma The heartache Words left unspoken Lives left unknowing Suppressed emotion Memories blocked by the pain Altered by trauma Better to forget Left only with regret Regret of a life I could have lived Regret of a living lie Just a pitiful sight to behold on your eyes Drown me in your lies And maybe I will realize That I was never alive After all this time

Forgotten
Young and broken Dreams left hopeless A life that was stolen By people who said that they loved me By people who said they would stand by me Just a husk of a shattered soul A lost vision I'm out of control Drowning in my own conscience Drowning in the immeasurable amount of lies I've been told What am I doing Why can't I breathe The air is suffocating Why can't I be okay It's just hollow words A comfort to those Those who can't understand the pain The trauma The heartache Words left unspoken Lives left unknowing Suppressed emotion Memories blocked by the pain Altered by trauma Better to forget Left only with regret Regret of a life I could have lived Regret of a living lie Just a pitiful sight to behold on your eyes Drown me in your lies And maybe I will realize That I was never alive After all this time
My soul has truly been left tattered and scarred, if anyone relates to this just know you are not alone
