a puzzle ripped apart

Contributed by lanna047 on Sunday, 12th September 2004 @ 10:24:52 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



every night I lie in my bed
wrestling all the things in my head
one after another, they take their turn
into my soul, I can feel them burn

I think of how life has gone wrong
how I don't ever feel like I belong
all the burdens that only stifle me
the things that no one else seems to see

a thousand-piece puzzle ripped apart
and I have no idea of where to start
how to put the fragments back together
or what will make the task get better

frustrations piled up over the years
now lead me to another round of tears
in this darkness, I must suffer alone
with no one to trust, I'm on my own

the tears ebb and flow like the tide
the silent sobs finally subside
maybe I sleep, then pretend I'm alright
until it starts again tomorrow night

Oh wow, this is really awesome.
I can really relate to this, the flow is beautiful, and I'm sure the words ring so true for everyone...
Very thought-provoking, intense and riveting.
Brilliant.
