A Broken Man
I'm walking tall, with head held high;
I smile, I talk, I laugh, each day at a time;
but I am a broken man deep down....

Thnx Tuncs. thnx for reading, and your appreciation for my words....I've came to terms that I am definitely a rebel....I have this ideal way of how I'd like the world to ultimately be....
I look at ppl as shattered glass; pieces of a reflection of myself; the good and the bad.... I embrace peace and try my best to go with the flow.... but every waking moment of everyday I personally go to war within myself subconsciously as well as consciously....I am a very troubled person. I don't like the feeling of being told what to do as if I'm some caged animal that has no self control....there's different aspects/different reasons of what brings me to say that I am personally a broken man....my spine still intact but I am drained mentally, physically....I'm running on fumes.... I get that it's not just about me.... but I find myself self-medicating to keep from jumping over board, because some times when I try to go deep to find peace; it doesn't seem to be there only scattered racing thoughts.... I hope this made sense

Makes complete sense. Especially the last sentence - I've been told to time and time again, meditate but I'm honestly scared of what my thoughts can say. I find my waking life to be a distraction self medication is the reaction, from the war in my mind so yeah, your words have run deep. Trying to find peace but left with scattered thoughts, sharp as knives. Love your work!
