Secret Shards

Shards to shreds
Fragmented inside
Little to nothing
Still I try

Step forward
And it hits me hard
Out of breath
And still so far

A thought before it fades away
A thought and I pry to say
"If anything or everything, I'd choose nothing"
And that's a scratch at my surface without touching

I wrap my mind upon the inquiry
And my mindlessness returns in a hurry
Soon a question is asked if I’m deep in thought
A reply of “Always…” after I see I was caught

A heart broken shattered mess
And everything that hurts I refuse to confess
I bleed inside, and suffer the pain
Lips sealed to conceal everything

And the weight upon me
Affects me strongly
As I lay to rest, wishing for a better feeling
Without all of this weight with which I've been dealing.
