Fractured Reverie

I woke up feeling like a fault line

Like every thought was pulling me apart

I keep a brave face taped on tight

But the room bends wrong when I step inside

Too many questions talking over me

I count my breaths but they still don't rhyme

I said I hate this under my breath

Then heard my name and answered yes

If I am broken,

I am breathing

If I am lost,

I still can move

Somewhere inside this heavy feeling

There is a door

I haven't used

I am not a mistake

Even when my mind gets mean I can bend,

I can shake

Still there's a spark in me Hold me when I break

Dance me back to my feet

I used to measure every bruise

Like proof that I was born to lose

Now I write my fear in pencil lines

Rub one out and draw it new

If the night gets loud in my head

I let the music answer instead

Stay with me, stay with me

I am more than this one feeling

Stay with me, stay with me

Morning comes in pieces I

am

not a mistake

Even when my mind gets mean I can bend,

I can shake

Still there's a spark in me Hold me when I break

Dance me back to

my feet I am not a mistake I am learning how to

breathe

I am still here

I am still here
