Broken Mirrors

I am a broken girl
Living in a broken world.

We both want to give up.
We both live in denial.
We try to find ways to distract ourselves

From the fact that we are
Allowing ourselves to
Self destruct--
Not that we want to be destroyed
But that we are afraid to try
To fix ourselves
And each other.

We'd rather pretend to enjoy
Cheap thrills while falling apart
Than fall apart
Trying to fix ourselves.
