Find all my pieces

And put me back together again

I long once more to be whole

But right now I’m broken

Please fix my shattered world

My past I need to mend

Too many things left undone

Too many words left unspoken

My paranoia follows me

My fears have left me shaking

Help me wipe away my tears

The drops have left me soaking

I need you to protect me

Too many times I’ve felt beaten

Though I was never touched

They’ve all left wounds still open

I’ve been confused, used, and abused

By those that I’m still hating

There are things I’m not over

I’m having trouble coping

I’ve always been so miserable

I’ve masked it all by joking

You’ve helped me regain my sense of me

You’re the one that keeps me hoping

I’m always hoping to be whole

I’m sick of always crying

I long for you to fix me

So I’m no longer broken
