"If They Are Broken"

Thoughts circle

Around all that which holds you back

Feet are frozen to their place where they stand

Each action taken against this battered soul

Rather than standing within the light...

And be seen for who they are...

Darkness is embraced like a welcomed friend

A fork in the road

The last twist and bend

Something has to give

Because a being cannot kill themselves this much just to live

So when silence falls

And it becomes hard for someone to speak

It is up to us to listen

Time reminds us that its always moving forward

Life reminds us that it happens all the time...

By happening every day...

Every action or emotion

Real or fake...

Truth...

Lie...

Shaded...

Or boldly coloured in

Which moment did you stop caring?

Because with broken clocks...

You can always tell exactly when they stopped ticking

With people, its not so easily seen

Sometimes you can't even tell...

If they are broken.
