Sitting in a pool of shattered glass
Broken like me
Into a thousand pieces

Each piece lost and out of place
How am I ever gonna get myself together again?
It’s like an incurable disease

I take myself apart
And each time I lose more and more
Soon there will be nothing left to live by

It’s my own fault
If I weren’t me, I wouldn’t hurt
I wouldn’t brake

Every day, losing strength
The very bones in me braking
Snapping me clean in half

Half living
Half dead
I disgust myself

Dragged through hell and back
Finally I see a way out
Is it too late?

NO

Never too late
Getting myself back
Back to where I’ve really always been

Only waiting to wake up
And see that I’ve got me
And a million others

And I have my life
Shining with every colour
And I can’t get back down
Because I’ve won the game you’ve been playing me in

My window has been replaced.

Life so often better played alone. It's then you find strength. Saw lots of hope here. Enjoyed

yes lots of hope in this... as the old saying is what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger. Looks like you found some strength in this struggle..
