My brain is broken, or so I’ve been told My soul is sick from the things I still hold Long-term neglect turns to long-term pain They call it weakness I carried the blame Demanding perfection No room to breathe I learned to break just to believe It wasn’t me... I was just a kid In the wrong place, with too much to give My mind is broken, or so I’ve been told Scars cut deeper than stories I hold Lost in the past But I’m still here Living a life built on anger and fear I can’t relax, always watching the door Every shadow feels like before Stolen days and stolen nights Still fighting ghosts I can’t find Moments replay yesterday Words cut deeper than fists ever could say Anger, silence carved into skin Wounds no one can mend I learned to plan, outplay the pain But every move just fed the chain I told myself I would take control But you can’t outthink a shattered soul My heart is broken My soul is cold Scars run deeper than stories I hold Lost in my past But I’m still here Living a life built on grief and fear I can’t relax, eyes on the door Even shadows rise from the floor Stole my days, stole tonight Fighting ghosts I don't want to fight Over and over Again and again Trying to fix what I don’t understand Blaming myself for things out of my hands Losing my future Reliving the past Lost everything… to the past My brain is broken— No, that’s what they said But I’m still breathing, I’m not dead yet These scars don’t own me They just remain Proof I survived what created the pain I still look back But I’m facing ahead Learning to live A war in my head Stolen days don’t have to define What I can heal… One day at a time Get help while you can… Don’t wait like I did
