Broken

Broken

 

Sitting here going psycho, 

Waiting to be appreciated.

Wanting someone to care. 

Hating who I am.

 

And I know I am broken.

Doesn't need to be spoken,

euphoria from smokin'

Don't want to be woken.

Hoping to break from the regression. 

Praying for someone to hold

 Losing what little sanity I had 

Wasting my soul in a loveless bath

 

And I know I am broken.

Continued to be spoken.

So much smokin'.

Eyes open and woken

 Standing here begging to be taken. 

Worrying about that can't be controlled

 Slamming rageful thoughts against paper.

Throwing away what I know.

 

And I know I am broken.

Why does it need to be spoken?

Masking it with the smokin'.

Nightmares become real when woken.

 

Pacing to understand who I am. 

Racing to find a reason to care

 Yelling to be appreciated,

Screaming like a psycho.

 

Broken.

Words misunderstood when spoken.

Simply content while I am smokin'

Just want to sleep and avoid be woken.

Such a long way you've gone, aithor Matthew!
Perhaps looking back you may see these verses as scribblings but they certainly have built a great foundation for the current version of yourself as writer.
And, this one's particurlarly emotional too, though fleeting and impulsive in nature, it is quite a work of mental expression.

[Black Cat Fever]

I say, keep throwing them out too! This piece has a strong impact, both emotionally and visually. The way you wrote it just makes it stronger in its brokenness. Your word choice, the layout, everything screams 'broken!' Great job on this.

Lyrical , Keep throwing them out there.

Wow, the emotion in this is so raw. It captures what it feels like to be broken perfectly. It flows well and makes so much sense. Good job (:
