Broken soul

I used to be whole, I used to be bright

Now I’m just shadows flickering light

Smiling on the outside, screaming inside

Trying to run, but there’s nowhere to hide

They say time can heal

But time just steals

The warmth I once knew

Now I feel see-through

I’m a soul made of cracks

Falling through the past

Holding on to hope

Like it’s made of glass

If I break again

Will anyone see

The shattered heart

Still beating in me?

I’m not what I was, but I’m still trying to be

Please love the pieces of me

I carry the weight of things I can’t name

Every scar whispers I’m the one to blame

But if you look close, you might still find

A flicker of fire I left behind

I want to be strong

But it’s been so long

Since I felt real

Since I could feel

I’m a soul made of cracks

Falling through the past

Holding on to hope

Like it’s made of glass

If I break again

Will anyone see

The shattered heart

Still beating in me?

I’m not what I was, but I’m still trying to be

Please love the pieces of me

I don’t need to be saved

I just need to be seen

Not fixed, not changed

Just held in between

The light and the dark

The fear and the fight

Tell me I’m broken

But still worth the light

I’m a soul made of cracks

Learning to last

Singing to the silence

Of a haunted past

If I fall apart

Will you still believe

There’s beauty left

In the broken in me?

I’m not whole, not yet — but I’m fighting to be

So please… love the pieces of me
