Broken Inside

by Brandi Furr

I want relief from this world
The pain to be gone
Admit our mistakes
Forgive all our wrongs
The fighting and yelling
It's driving me mad
The hate and division
It's getting so bad
But you don't see
you're blind and your deaf
I'm screaming my pain
but you're turning your head
Its all empty words
You dont hear what I say
just cover your ears and walk away
It's what you do best
Yeah u heard what I said
I'm trying 2 be heard
But u make me wish I was dead
Maybe you're right
Maybe I am to blame
Maybe I should write on this bullet
My own ******* name.
The thing is though
I've already been dead
Tho the triggers not pulled
There's no blood from my head.
But the dead that I feel
It's different you see
I know I'm alive
But I can't seem to be free.
Begging and pleading
Screaming I cry
But no one can hear me
Bc I'm screaming inside
My heart it's heavy
I sit and I grieve
For what I have lost
And what I have seen.
Hatred and anger
Distrust and divide
A family once bonded
Now broken inside
The pieces all shattered
The bonds are all broke
What's family to you?
Because it feels like a joke.
One thing brings us together
It's the truth to be said
No one's ever sorry
Til the other is dead.
