Jagged

Tue, 08/09/2016 - 23:39 -- Skyelee

A normal day for me

Keep walking straight for me

Eyes on the ground

Not looking around.

 

Friends; I got none

I don't need anyone

I just got myself

Don't need no one else.

 

They say I'm jagged--

A broken mess.

I call it mature

More enlightened than the rest.

They say I'm ruined

Can't ever be fixed

No glue can save me now

I joined the lunatics.

I'm just too jagged.

 

My sneakers are skinned

My family is thinned

This big city life

Makes every wrong seem right.

 

After running from home

Then living on my own

When my brother got killed

My instincts got skilled

 

They say I'm jagged--

A broken mess.

I call it mature

More enlightened than the rest.

They say I'm ruined

Can't ever be fixed

No glue can save me now

I joined the lunatics.

I'm just too jagged.

 

Nobody comes close

They can't break me, no

I'm hiding too deep

Behind the dragon of my keep.

 

I'm safe where I am

Can't come to anymore harm

Just got to stay apart

To protect my jagged heart...

 

They say I'm jagged!

Maybe it's true--

Maybe I'm worthless

That my time is through.

No matter how much I crave

That true love or a family

I'll always be alone

Don't got a friend or no place to call home.

I'm just too--

Broken. Worthless. Ruined.

 

I'm just too Jagged.
