A Broken Soul

Lock the door
Keep the world on the other side
Light a candle
A flame in the dark
Close the curtain
Keep others out
Shield them from the pain
The broken shards of memories
The blades of agony
Fake a summer smile
Hide the shadowed winter soul
Lie, lie, lie
Fool everyone, trick yourself
Just walk past
These jagged pieces of glass
In a world of darkness
In a mind of gray
Muffled voices, stifled thoughts
But nothing's ever wrong
Because no one cares about
The same broken soul
In the same spinning world
