ARROWS THROUGH MY HEART

Cracks in my heart that nobody sees,

Fighting a war that’s buried in me.

Every memory hits like an arrow,

I smile through the pain, but I’m falling apart.

I WANT TO FEEL NUMB!

I WANT TO ESCAPE!

These arrows keep piercing

The heart I can’t save.

I’m lost in the darkness,

I’m drowning inside,

But somewhere beneath it,

A heart beats to survive.

I carry these fears like stones in my chest,

Pretending I’m strong when I can’t even rest.

Every “what if” keeps pulling me under,

While my mind turns love into thunder.

I close my eyes, hoping the noise disappears,

But I’m still haunted by all of my fears.

I’m breaking in places nobody can see,

Still searching for the person I used to be.

I WANT TO FEEL NUMB!

I WANT TO ESCAPE!

These arrows keep piercing

The heart I can’t save.

I’m lost in the darkness,

I’m drowning inside,

But somewhere beneath it,

A heartbeat survives.

Maybe I don’t need to be numb…

Maybe I just need to breathe.
