Shattered Glass Mind

Drowning in this silence, need to escape to my darkness alone
A place where I can be myself, a place I can call my own
I no longer want to be the judged, medicated, unwanted fixture
I stand alone as these tears I shed paint the most vibrant of picture

Every day I feel I struggle to be the person I used to be
These chains that bind me will never set me free
Fighting with these demons, I can never draw the line
So tread carefully within my shattered glass mind

The fires that once raged within have been long since dead
Surrounded by this obsidian glass, I can never look ahead
Fear of the outside world, this negativity controls me
Need to break away, see the greener grass that you all see

These devils that I create, where no one can relate
Are seen as a virus that manifests into hate
Hate for those that judge, yet are no different from me
When will I see this world that’s made perfect, make me believe

Hitting my fists against the wall, anxiety is now high
Fear of the unknown behind this pitch black sky
As the obsidian shatters to reveal the beauty of life
I feel reborn as I watch the old version of me die

Your warmth and love has stopped me from looking behind
As the shards made whole from my shattered glass mind
