Broken

As night falls
My worries increase
I think of all
My armour fell to pieces
During the day
I can keep most of my fears at bay
But as the night falls
So does my fragile wall
I try to mend it
But I cannot remember
How I have been keeping it together?
The pieces just won't fit.
This is my fault
I thought that I could do this alone
This is the result
Slowly dying and alone
Who can I turn to?
No one really knows
And those who do?
They keep their door closed
I am lost
I am alone
So far away from home
I am lost
I am alone
There is no way to go home
I must protect and fight
And try to find the light
For I am needed, for now
But sometimes, I forget how?
My armour is lying in a heap
Right at my feet
And all I can do is wonder
How to put it back together?
I must forget
Bathe in the river Lethe
Start over again
Even though it feels like it may be in vain
Smile as wide as I can
Pretend all is alright again
Maybe someday
This pain and loneliness will go away
