Identity

Fragile

The crack in the mirror reminds me
Of how fragile i really am
Of how afraid i really am
Of the monster that sits outside my door

We are never supposed to say a word
About what goes on here
To make excuses for the bruises on our bodies
And to lie about the scars on our souls

But the truth is that
We live in fear everyday
Of doing something wrong that will really make him leave this time

How is it that i do everything to keep him from leaving
But every bone in my body is afraid for him to stay
Ive decided that there really is no way to break the cycle
Of the nightmare in which we live
