the broken home


You see the mess of vines on the outside 

Any happiness denied 

The darkness that fills the halls 

The scars that filled the walls 

 

Deep secrets within 

The house knows all your sins 

The emptiness within 

Will keep you locked in 

 

The darkness pulls you in 

And can make you jump out of your skin 

Voices roaming the halls 

It’ll make your skin crawl 

 

Now imagine this inst a home at all 

But A person with a wake up call 

Now imagine this person is me 

With so much trauma we can agree
