Downfall

When I was shattered I wasn’t able to salvage the pieces before they were taken by the waves

I lost myself yet again just right after I found it

The gossips spread like wildfire over the night

And people are ready to kill for a one sided truth accompanied by a lie

I went alone to a fight empty handed

And the enemy has brought himself an army thirsty for my blood


All their painful words tattooed on my skin

And voices in my mind echoes like a broken record

It was painfully slow to see myself dying every single day

Ghosts of my mistakes haunt me even in my sleep

That I dread waking up to another day


I am currently falling in an abyss of darkness

I have never felt so numb my entire life

That it’s useless to even try to fix myself when I am an incomplete puzzle of chaos


It’s the quietest battle between me and my demons every night

Betting on who gets to witness another sunrise

Until the day comes when they finally get to take over me

Controlling me like a puppet on a string

And my anxiety making it worst by making me weaker than I already am

Judgement has always been my biggest fear and here I am in a courtroom of prejudice


I almost thought I convinced myself that I am standing still

That the waves hitting me wasn’t dragging me to the ground

But my sandcastle was already crumbling down before I even knew

So I built a wall out of bricks to shut them out

Just to see them vandalizing a mockery out of me

I could still feel the fire that burned me alive

When I was bewitched as if I’ve been performing spells


But I have no more tears to shed in this drought that killed all the flowers I once grew

No matter how hard I search I can never find a safe place to hide

I am a hollow room of darkness

A paralyzed warrior left alone to die


This is one of the rarest moments I’m glad my mama isn’t here to witness how damaged I am

Because I am no longer the bravest girl she once knew


Once you’re broken you’ll never be the same person twice
