I feel lost now
You made me lose myself
I was so self assured before you
You took pleasure in breaking me
Piece by piece
Watching me crumble at your feet
You took pleasure in my pain
Laughing in my face
You would watch me cry
And walk away
I feel lost now
I’m trying to find myself again
Pick up the pieces you broke so easily
Mend them together for me
Some days it’s easy
They fit together like a puzzle
Other days It’s hard
The broken shards don’t fit quite right
Too many small pieces missing
I feel lost now
I hope one day I’ll get back
To how you I was before you

I am no longer blind to the monsters in this world
I used to think monsters hid in your closet
Or under your bed
But I was young and blind
I see the monsters for who they are now
They don’t hide under your closet
They aren’t waiting under your bed
They are human
The real monsters are us
