Broken

Yellow person is holding their neck with their right hand and crossing their left hand over their body. They are looking down in pain. They have pink, short hair and is wearing a neon green top.

I’m broken, and I’m tired.

Have they always come hand in hand?

I can’t muster the strength to smile

Or laugh so sadly,

When everything is broken inside.

I think I’m purging, purging and purging.

So don’t make me pretend with you,

Just to make you feel something inside.

I can’t even

Pink person is running their hands through their blonde hair. They are wearing a green jumper.

I can’t even begin to count,

How many sleepless nights

Where I’ve hoped tomorrow wouldn’t come.

As I lay, breaking, breaking

To my own reflection.

Just to wake again the next day,

And feel the sun against my skin.
