The path of the broken
Sorta old, but I thought I'd post this for you guys to read. Once again, constructive critism is welcome.
Slow down, I'm started to lag behind this race
Why is it replacing all my days?
I can't keep on, please glue my feet to the floor
I can hardly do this anymore
A thousand words and the side effects are coming through
Why do I feel like the words are true?
The half-assed smiles leave me with no choice
And this mental breakdown is breaking the poise
Do you even understand?
Open your ears, just lend me a hand
We're all liars in our own secret fashion
And now my body's going through another lashing
I've been beaten, I'm bleeding, I've collapsed to my knees
Now, answer me, can you hear the genuine heaves?
Watch me fall, watch me lose control
I'm living through such a disastrous role
The reccuring tears paused for a quick breath
The pain stopped threatening my chest
But only for a moment, a very short moment
It always has to be even a bit plangent
So take me, but please don't break me
But I'm already broken and useless
That's really all I'll ever be
And I'm just wounded, there's so many bruises
Can't they tell in my eyes that I'm breaking down?
But all my life I've been gagged and bound
I can't stop this path that has been set out
I'll just be dragged down it screaming and my eyes filled with doubt
