trying to fix ourselves
when we don't know
where all our pieces are
trying to adjust ourselves
when we are so broken
we don't ever know
where we even are
trying to find ourselves
when we are just lost
distrust and mental corruption
injured by physical destruction
chaos and obstruction
when we can't
ever mend our tattered way
when we are so shattered
falling to our wounded knees
stumbling with sobbing gasps
fumbling with throbbing pain and sorrow
lives troubled by dark deception
disrupting hearts with every tragic loss
maybe we just need correction
perhaps we all just need
true love and joy
enlightenment and new direction
