Broken

Mocking dreams
Broken seams
My life is shattering
Right before me
 
I try so hard
To ignore everything
But it catches me off guard
Like a long, loud ring
 
I'm being choked
By all the smothering
They tell me to change
And that's what bothers me
 
Little miss perfect 
Isn't who she was before
She doesn't have faith
And she welcomes hell's door
 
There's still some guilt
But her apathy is greater
She grabs a blade's hilt
And the pain tries to kill her
 
It's who I want to be
It's okay if you want to judge me
We're all people
Who are more broken than we seem
