Shatter

Broken,

Shattered,

Myself into sharp edges.

Sharp edges where a real person once stood

Shattered pieces that dug away at my soul

Cutting, chopping, snorting my existence away

Addiction shattered me

Me shattered me

Cuts so deep I couldn’t go on

Picking up pieces only to

Shatter each again

Smaller pieces becoming smaller

Resembling me little

My existence shattering still more

Now the shattering is done

Painstaking in putting each piece

Back

Still unable

One piece fixed, while another shatters still

The balance impossible

Fixing all those pieces, I can’t

I just can’t

The pieces slip through and fall crashing

Crashing, crying, screaming into still more

God help me

Put back together the pieces of a life

I shattered so recklessly.

Please I’m so broken still

Still the broken one
