BROKEN REFLECTIONS - a man's silent scream
The world spins fast, a blurry, endless race,
And leaves me standing in this lonely place.
A ghost of who I used to be,
Before the world got the best of me.
A man built strong, or so I used to think,
Now teetering on a fragile, broken brink.
I gave my love, my all, my very soul,
And now I'm left with nothing but a hole.
A shattered mirror, a broken spirit's plea,
Reflecting all that's wrong with me.
They said I was too much, too loud, too deep,
While buried secrets are what I keep.
A silent scream, a constant, stabbing pain,
Like icy fingers in my heart and in my brain.
Unloved, unlovable—a heavy stone,
A burden that I carry on my own.
I see the couples walking hand-in-hand,
And feel a disconnect I can't command.
A warmth I knew, a touch I miss so much,
Now just a phantom ache, a ghost of a touch.
I gave my honesty, my simple, honest truth,
But truth, it seems, is a dangerous proof.
It shows the cracks, the lines upon my face,
The weary man who can't keep up the pace.
Each whispered doubt, a bitter, cruel remark,
Another scar left bleeding in the dark.
I built my walls up, brick by painful brick,
But every memory is a little prick.
A joke I told that landed with a thud,
A love I cherished, washed away like mud.
I see the men who have it figured out,
And drown inside a sea of endless doubt.
I feel the judgment in a passing glance,
The silent verdict of a hopeless dance.
To be a man, they say, is to be strong,
To never show where you might feel you belong
To somewhere soft, to somewhere you are seen,
To let the wildness of your spirit preen.
But that's the part they taught me to deny,
So I live a lie, and watch my spirit die.
But in the quiet of this shadowed room,
I'll face the silence, break through all the gloom.
I'll find the pieces, learn to feel again,
And mend the heart that's shattered by the pain.
Maybe one day, I'll see the man inside,
And give him the love he was so long denied.
I'll stitch the wounds, and heal the broken soul,
And finally feel a little bit more whole.
