Shatter
Broken,
Shattered,
Myself into sharp edges.
Sharp edges where a real person once stood
Shattered pieces that dug away at my soul
Cutting, chopping, snorting my existence away
Addiction shattered me
Me shattered me
Cuts so deep I couldn’t go on
Picking up pieces only to
Shatter each again
Smaller pieces becoming smaller
Resembling me little
My existence shattering still more
Now the shattering is done
Painstaking in putting each piece
Back
Still unable
One piece fixed, while another shatters still
The balance impossible
Fixing all those pieces, I can’t
I just can’t
The pieces slip through and fall crashing
Crashing, crying, screaming into still more
God help me
Put back together the pieces of a life
I shattered so recklessly.
Please I’m so broken still
Still the broken one
