Shattered Glass

My mind is filled with void I can't exhale Nor breathe out. I'm choking on all these words i cannot speak Like shattered glass they Ache and bleed So much it hurts on the inside That i can't even cleanse Those tiny, insignificant pieces of pain And free myself from this guilt That's digging so deep into my skin. Break me, crush me I don't care anymore Ignore me, I'm too tired to care back I'm too bruised to even notice. It's still my body That takes hits quietly. Bitter with all my sore I've tried to escape Not my first attempt, Yet not my last I'm still breathing I'm still fighting. I am no longer my own hero... Lights out... I need to rest.
