Broken and Scared.

So what if I’m broken and scared,
Life is day to day not now or never,
I've gone through the fire and came out charred,
Look at me though I still hold it together.
You think I’m nothing but stern,
But my mind is full of hopeless sorrow,
So called ‘friends’ they never learn,
Only the ones who love me really know.
Can you never see though the act I put on,
Acting strong, like I don’t care it’s what I've learned,
If you know me well enough, I shine like the dawn,
But if you see me as broken, the darkness is the only place I turn.
Maybe one day you’ll get it, if you open your eyes,
I've been through a lot I never open my heart,
Felt far too much heart, heard to many lies,
But if you try to see the real me, well it’s a start.
