I Am Not So Broken

I am not so sure.

I am not so broken

That I can't tell false from true

Though I sometimes think I'm being watched

From the fire alarm in my room

I am not so broken

That I speak to those not there

Though I sometimes hear these voices

Whispering in both my ears

I am not so broken

That I attack and wound my friends

Though I sometimes catch myself

having harmed them by accident

I am not so broken

That lies are all I spew

Though I look back and I realise

That it wasn't always truth

I am not so broken

That I scream and cry and shout

Though I'm not always fully aware

Of whats escaped my mouth

I am not so broken

That I can't speak to everyone

Though if you hear me, but do not know me

Then I'm more than likely drunk

I am not so broken

That I do not see the signs

That the words that I've been labelled

Tell me that I've lost my mind

But you see, I am not broken

Though I'm creaky and worn down

If I tell you I'm not broken

If I can just convince myself...

I'm a little weird with questionable taste in books and music and even more questionable life choices <3
