12+ Violence

Shattered Glass

INTRO

Life is not easy

I know that

Coming home weary

Knowing darkness where I sat

BRIDGE

I’m losing everything 

Slowly but surely

Friends, love, writing

All faded so easily 

PRE~CHORUS

They’re breaking me down 

Smashing me to pieces 

Until I finally drowned

The sunshine finally freezes

CHORUS

I’m shattered

I’m crushed 

I’m broken like glass on the cold stone floor

I’m shattered

I’m smashed

They've broken me inside 

The sharp edges of my life 

My feelings a crimson tide

Carving sadness with a knife 

POST~CHORUS

Oh

I'm shattered

I’m crushed

I’m broken like glass on the cold stone floor

I’m shattered

I’ve drowned 

BRIDGE

The stress weighs down 

Like a hundred pounds

A shattered crystal gown 

The emotion where I’m bound

Oh

(Music)

I’m shattered

I’m crushed

I’m broken like glass on the coldest stone floor

VERSES

I'm the keeper of broken dreams

I'm the one who walks alone

I'm the feelings when you fall asleep

I'm the one who has once shone

BRIDGE

I am trying to harness

My own inner thoughts

Struggling in the darkness

Never has been brought

VERSE

To light 

OUTRO

But maybe...

Just maybe...

I’ll find a way to shore.

Heyy there lyricist ;D,
this was a cute one! Just like @Tikaya suggested, this also rendered a rock song in my mind (an indie with with playful tunes!)
The song, I feel, is about coping with something or someone harsh, and hoping to see someway out of the stress someday. I like how the lines aren't very long and pretty compact. It is signature of that indie sound, once again XD! But, nonetheless, if a future listener of the imaginary song version of these lyrics, I'm sure s/he'll understand the depths you tried to convey using your pen.
My favorite line from your song is:

// Yeah, it's a whole verse lol! I think it's all very poetic and shit =D
And also the outro adds a lot of hopefulness and sentimentality to this piece. Just love it <3
If I grab some electric guitar now, I might as well vibe to this song =D. Keep up the good work!

Sorry, the code didn't really work :'(

You can try and edit it :)

More poems… Ahh alright, I try my best! For the contest!

I appreciate that you separate the lyrics into bridge chorus etc. Makes it easier to keep track of some kinda melody in my head 😊

Ohhh I get chills from reading these lyrics. I can imagine some kinda rock song for it. Love the chorus!

It’s hard to pick out a favourite line because I can dig the entire thing. Great job! Now some has to turn this into an actual song! I wanna listen to it~

Thank u so muchhhh! I%u2019m glad u enjoyed!

Hello there!
I'll be reviewing your piece today :)
First of all the deep emotional layers of the burden faced everyday? You've depicted them beautifully. Your imagery is quite strong, like for instance, "My feelings a crimson tide", this line is a personal favourite.
Your emotional intellect here is quite honest and good, especially here "Carving sadness with a knife".
Overall this poem resonates quite well with me and i know life can be hard but as you pointed out in the end, there's always a light at the end of a dark, desolate cave. The end, though the end is poignant, it sprinkles a mild sense of hope to folks.
Your repetition through out your poem has quite an impact here, i've got a teeny tiny suggestion for u, tho ur work here is already gr8, well, after each repetition you could add reasons like, I'm shattered -but not gone. You could also try playing with line breaks.
I'm really proud of this piece you've written here. I hope you're doing okay.
Keep writing, looking forward to come across more of ur work.

Thanks again for your wonderful review and I can%u2019t wait to hear more from you!
Love,
