Fractured

I wake up in the wreckage of another broken day

Shadows in my mind, won’t let the silence slip away

Tried to speak the truth but every word just ricocheted

Now I’m drowning in the echo of the things I didn’t say

And I’m still reaching,

For something that I’ll never hold—

Fading, bleeding,

This pain is getting old

I’m fractured,

Torn between the pieces of who I used to be

Shattered,

Falling through the cracks in my own identity

I scream but no one hears a sound

I rise just to be dragged back down

I’m fractured…

Can you even see me now?

I wear a mask of calm while inside I’m set to burn

Lessons turn to scars, and there’s nothing left to learn

Push me to the edge, I won’t break—I’ll just bend

But even steel gets tired when it’s never allowed to mend

Still I'm fading,

Fighting through a storm I can’t outrun

Hating, breaking—

This war has just begun

I’m fractured,

Torn between the pieces of who I used to be

Shattered,

Falling through the cracks in my own identity

I scream but no one hears a sound

I rise just to be dragged back down

I’m fractured…

Can you even see me now?

This is the silence you gave me!

This is the cage you made!

I’m not your victim anymore—

I’m the fire, I’m the blade!

I’m fractured,

But I’m still here, still breathing through the pain

Shattered,

But I won’t let you write me off again

I screamed until I shook the sky

I lived though I was meant to die

I’m fractured…

And I’m finally breaking free
