Shielded
covered with therapy and a functioned home
broken bones, secrets caving in on the hope

I said stop
I don't want a part of this
unity of a family that bites at each other's necks
I don't want a death wish
bloody hands and dying hearts
sworn to give the best I can I am so lost I am falling apart


breathless
breathless

I am out of breath
from fighting so long
trying to keep us going on

breathless
breathless

from walking away
and trying to say
that sorry excuses won't cut out the abuse
I'm so detrimental to the life of this world
that you can't even afford to treat me like I'm normal

I'm so happy that you have a sense of humor
sarcasm is the begining of a still dead void

ignorance

I am so breathless
