Broken Beats

Heart heavy, shadows in my head dwell,

Crumbling fortress, my emotions rebel.

Streetlights flicker, echo my despair,

Lost in the void, gasping for air.

Tears drip slow, a metronome of pain,

Umbrella tattered, can’t shield the rain.

Clouds overhead, whispering my plight,

A prisoner of the darkness, no escape in sight.

Can’t find my way, map burned to ash,

Memories razor sharp, deep cuts that slash.

Skeletons dance, mocking my cry,

In a world so crowded, solitude amplify.

Concrete jungle yet my soul feels rural,

Battle scars etch skin, every loss brutal.

Holding on to threads, but they fray too fast,

Haunted by mistakes that I can’t outlast.

Cigarette smoke spirals, thoughts entangle,

Hope droops low like a broken sandal.

Mirror cracks reflect my shattered state,

Ashes of dreams trickle down like slate.

Can’t find my way, map burned to ash,

Memories razor sharp, deep cuts that slash.

Skeletons dance, mocking my cry,

In a world so crowded, solitude amplify.
