Fracture

Every synapse fires in acceptance of a distant truth

My concept of self, pulled out at the roots

A frail voice inside my mind

Begs for release

Twisting inside of me

The smallest fractures in my body lead to collapse

Falter underneath the impact of careless steps

Pieces of my life defined by loss and regret

Returning moments and recurring thoughts

In a twist of fate

Whispers grow

And cut their way out of my skull

Threatened by the memories

Of who I used to be

I search inside myself

And find an empty space

Where peace should rest

Trapped in a dream

I’d give anything to forget

I count the days as they pass

Retreated from the coldest stares

Self descending as I turn my back

Consuming any light

I’m not afraid to die

I’ve lost my will to fight

In a twist of fate

Whispers grow

And cut their way out of my skull

Threatened by the memories

Of who I used to be

I search inside myself

And find an empty space

Where peace should rest

Trapped in a dream

I’d give anything to forget
