Broken

I've got depression on my mind  
Darkness in my soul  
The soles of my feet are weary  
From climbing out of this hole  
My bloody hands hold on  
My tired eyes can't see the light  
But everything will be alright  
As long as I just fight  
But who is it I'm fighting?  
It's just too dark to see  
See-saw battling with insanity in need of rescuing  
Indeed please rescue me  
I don't know how much I'll take before I break  
I find myself putting everything at stake  
Plunge a stake right through my heart  
To stop me from falling apart  
I've searched so long for answers  
That alas, nothing seems to matter  
So I take matters out of my hands and let go  
Crush the mirror and it shatters  
I see my reflection in every piece--broken  
I fall to my knees hoping  
That my eyes finally open  
I pick up the glass  
Stare into it and see  
That the man staring back at me  
Is me...
