Twisted from the inside

I looked at my reflection
just a shadow did I see  
for I was filled with clouded judgment  
no image could there be..  
 
I had wandered off into a place  
where dreams do not belong  
staring at the ripples  
from where I did go wrong..  
 
I might have learned
to change some things
deep inside of me  
If only I had known  
the darkness that could be..  
 
 
I struggled with afflictions  
to numb me from the pain  
submerged in my destruction  
I don't even know my name..  
 
 
Deep down I wanted peace  
 but where was I to start  
for how to build a person  
 from a broken heart..
