"SHATTERED"


The shattered fragments of my mind
The endless screams in the dark

They echo off these cold damp stones
The echo of my broken heart

Trying in vain to make them see
Pleading for any comfort
The faces showing no emotion
The heartless reply rips me asunder

The pale light of the moon streams over me
Through a crack in the prison of my soul
The soft white light washes over me
How i survive i dont know

No more reason for kindness
No more sense of compassion
All emotion stripped from me
My feelings are now out of fashion

Waiting for the comfort of death
Praying for the end of the dreams
Just once to finally feel nothing
Just once to no longer hear my screams

The wheel turns slowly for some
The wheel turns not at all for others
Each passing moment seems like eternity
Hurt and pain are my only brothers

Waiting for the numbness
Praying it soon will subside
The mind is an infinite prison
Your own thoughts leave you nowhere to hide

Each day blurs into another
Each night seems never to end
I struggle through each wakeing moment
Distortion is my only friend

That which does not kill you makes you stronger
The wise man once said to his flock
But had he known suffering like mine
He would have died from horrible shock

So each day i go on
For thats all i can do
From the prison of my mind
My sanity slowly comes unglued
