The Crushed

So you think you know me?
Seen my darkness?
Think I am strong?
You don't know shit.

I'm not who I appear,
You can't see beyond the mask.
The monster I hide within,
So others don't deal with it.

Why be afraid of the dark,
when the light shows the evil.
The veil is thick,
To block the past.

I'm not strong at all,
After all I still breathe.
I can't accept what's happened,
So yet I cling to my past.

My world's in ruin,
And so is the heart.
Can it all be fixed?
Surely not by me.
