Fragments of a Broken Mind
Desperate measures for survival's sake,
Hungry and lightheaded, a desperate break.
Pride a heavy burden, eyes roll in the haze,
Emptiness and suicide in a soul's dark maze.
Addiction's grip, a wrestling match within,
Seeking solace in fleeting, harmful sin.
Hope a whisper lost in the gathering gloom,
Society's judgment seals a lonely tomb.
False visions and manipulative use,
A life diminished, a bent and broken ruse.
Unbearable weight, no light within to find,
Strength depleted, a fractured, weary mind.
Lost and gone, hands bound in despair,
Heavy burdens, a river's cold embrace.
Regrets and solitude, a starless night,
Suicidal thoughts flicker in fading light.
Mocking stories and hollow, empty praise,
A collage of broken dreams in a hazy daze.
Trapped in a cycle, unable to break free,
Stained hands and a soul that cannot see.
Missing pieces, a fragmented, broken whole,
Sickness and betrayal take their toll.
A body broken, a memory fading fast,
Lost forever, a shadow from the past.
Society silences the meek and weak,
Soft whispers of death, a solace they seek.
Overdosing, lost in a haze of pain,
A beacon of hell, burning bright again.
Hanging by threads, dirty hands, no hope,
A false profit, a bloated, empty scope.
Rafters creak, a pendulum's broken swing,
Sorrow's magnet pulls, a mournful, hollow thing.
