Shatter broken pieces

That fit so well inside

That no one ever sees

The truth of my reality

A broken twisted thing

Hidden beneath a golden coat

But really it painted so thin

That a look would scratch my skin

I can't just walk away

Nor bury my head in the sand

I am the pretender

I am the liar

I am the shadows

That lies behind the mask.

I am the seething hatred

I am the suffocating darkness

I am the drowning tide

That waits beneath the surface

I am the cold that will cut you

I am the whisper that will break you

I am the hand that will push you

That hangs above your head

I am the scream

I am the fist

I am the anger

That lodges in your throat

I am the tear

I am the sob

I am the plea

That's caged in your heart

I am the fear

I am the confusion

I am the sorrow

Locked inside your soul

I am the hand

That holds the blade

That offers the pills

That ties the knot

You know me

Or you know me not

I failed me

Have always

Will always

Be less then I should

Im losing my grasp on reality

And I don't know whether

To laugh or cry

I have failed for so long

Made such a mess

Of my exsistence

that it's not even recognisable
