Shattered Life

black separator bar
As a child without a care
Clouds halted the innocent days
Why so much hatred and confusion?
Is there nothing this child can offer?

A past with bad reflections
No where to turn in the present
Living a shattered life
Pieces fly into the future

Scorned through the teen years
Pushed like dirt under the rug
How does one fit in and be themselves?
Is there no place that offers acceptance?

A past with bad reflections
No where to turn in the present
Living a shattered life
Pieces fly into the future

Searching for what's missing
Finding only particles of joy
Doesn't any body really care?
Is there no solace in this world?

A past with bad reflections
Memories lay upon the floor
No where to turn in the present
Push and pull until there is no more
Living a shattered life
Smashing me from the inside
Pieces fly into the future
