Heart
upside down
inside out
beaten
bruised
and torn apart
like a crooked piece of art
golden
true
but black and blue
unprotected
tattered
torn
i come undone
inside is not me
there's only you
i would never get out the space where your rooted in my heart
like an old tree in the park
touched by the ones i love the most
and those i never got to know
everyday my feelings shake
like an eternal quake
too much baggage
not a carry-on
too much stuff to get gone
the pain i carry all day long
does not subside
on my shoulders my burdens ride
the mask i wear just in case
someone wants to invade my space
a shield torn apart
to protect whats left of a useless heart
i can not pull off or take away
its too uncomfortable to stay that way
my days are all forever gray
it keeps me sane but pulls me apart
i hope that with a will and with a way
i'll be off my feet, swept away
my mask with the breeze will float away
my burdens will slip off my back
my heart back to normal again
i just need to know where to begin
