Shattered

Millions of fans 

Millions of haters

My life built on sand

And I was sinking into the dark hole of hatred and condemnation

Fallen tears dried up over years

A crack in my heart growing with every love come and gone

Trust lay shattered on the marble floor

All the hands holding me withdrew in a heartbeat

I fell with but my own hands to break my fall

Eyes pierced through my mask

My cloak ripped from my back

Unable to hide

Forced to accept who I am

Who I made myself into

A light blinded me and penetrated my heart

Tears of joy fell from my now open eyes

A smile crept onto my face

Building myself back up

Stone by stone

Learning to laugh

Learning to love

Learning to live

Learning to trust
