Shattered
Sometimes you wish you had uses
Sometimes you just wish you had a voice
Sometimes you wish people would just stop and listen
When you feel ignored, others are right there with you
When you feel broken,
Like a broken music box
When you used to have a say
But now you’re just wrong or brushed off
Like a broken music box that once played a delightful music
Now just on a shelf, collecting dust
You wish you could play a solemn song
But just can’t get the right tune or sound out
Sometimes you wished you had your voice back
Sometimes you wished you hadn’t been brushed off
Sometimes you wish other could see the beauty in you
And not just the broken bits and pieces that don’t define you
You’re still beautiful,
You’re unique with a special song
No matter what it sounds like
Sometimes you need a reminder
Now if only someone was there to remind me.
