I’m a broken mess
A wreck
Cracked in half by sinking sand
I can’t do this anymore
Rejection stings as I run out the door
Like a punch in the gut
Or a slap in the face
I’m down, I’m injured
I’m out of this race
And I don’t know if I’ll ever go back
I’m not sure I’m able
I’m not sure I can
Because I make things a hundred times worse
This gift of mine — it’s a blessing and a curse

– Date of writing unknown

This is my heart
As it tears into pieces
All of my strength
And all of my weakness
All that I've left
And all that's behind
Is missing and mangled
And tangled inside
Everything's broken
Yet everything's whole
Things that I feel
That you'll never know
A heartache so deep
And I don't have a reason
But this is my heart
As it tears into pieces
