Falling Apart

Each day, a raw, unseen battle rages,
My past forever trying to settle its scores.
I'm losing my mind, struggling to leave it behind,
The weight of memories that refuse to unwind.

If I could, I'd change the past,
Erase the pain that forever will last.
My heart's heavy with grudges, judged by unseen eyes,
Each day, I fall apart, trying to mend my shattered sighs.

I'm dry as a bone, my sanity turning to stone,
Each day, my life falls apart, darkness my only home.
I'm trapped in the night, with tears that fall like rain,
But still, the shadows remain, an endless, sleepless pain.

My sanity's broken, my future lost and blown,
I'm unable to forgive, forget, or find my way back home.
I'm broken like glass, my past forever etched in time,
A constant reminder of mistakes that forever will be mine.

A new day dawns, the same regret,
A peace that's lost, and I'm left to confront the wreckage I've met.
I'm a disaster, haunted by ghosts of my past,
Tears falling like autumn's rain, but the pain forever will last.
