For Crying out Loud:
A picture of broken glass,
Classified by the shards of pain,
Hurdling around my brain,
As I watch myself,
Looking through a mirror,
Reflection lost and black,
My foundation, it cracks,
As I lose myself,
Feeling sorry,
Feeling daunted,
Being fearful,
Being haunted,
By the ghost of a past self,
For crying out loud,
For crying out loud,
If only I had control over my life,
And somehow I could turn back time,
And make things how they were supposed to be,
This person inside, this person is not me,
A stain of smoking blood,
Tears from the years before,
Always knocking at my door,
As I look back,
A sense of cruel words,
Printed in a burnt out book,
Causing me to turn and look,
Look somewhere else,
Dieing slowly,
Dieing in silence,
Always lonely,
Always broken,
By the ghost of a future me,
For crying out loud,
For crying out loud,
If only I could control my own life,
And somehow, once I’d turned back time,
I would make things how they were supposed to be,
Only to realise that in-fact, this was just for me,
Selfishness deprives us of sight,
But protecting yourself,
Protecting yourself is always right…
