Crushed, broken, thrown aside,
My heart gets tossed around with the tide.
The push and pull of what others want,
My own emotions I cannot flaunt.
I must stay strong for those who deserve,
My mind must stay clear, not swerve.
Bottled up, building and growing,
My anger and hurt I am stowing.
Crushed, broken, thrown around,
My soul is trapped and earthly bound.
Wanting and longing but holding back,
My life will always have something to lack.
For the ones I love I must not fall,
Myself I must push away all.
Crushed, broken, thrown about,
My mind screams and I hear it shout.
Trying to speak but no words come,
My lips just become numb.
Crushed, broken, thrown far and long,
And yet, my facade still stays strong.

Crushed, broken, thrown aside,
My heart gets tossed around with the tide.
The push and pull of what others want,
My own emotions I cannot flaunt.
I must stay strong for those who deserve,
My mind must stay clear, not swerve.
Bottled up, building and growing,
My anger and hurt I am stowing.
Crushed, broken, thrown around,
My soul is trapped and earthly bound.
Wanting and longing but holding back,
My life will always have something to lack.
For the ones I love I must not fall,
Myself I must push away all.
Crushed, broken, thrown about,
My mind screams and I hear it shout.
Trying to speak but no words come,
My lips just become numb.
Crushed, broken, thrown far and long,
And yet, my facade still stays strong.
