It's an honour to be broken. Knowing it's a game simply to survive Just to be alive Trying to do a little bit better every day Burying ego and pride Trying to mend something unfixable Trying to do my utmost best Sure, we can all pretend. I've been pretending with every lover and every friend. I'm hoping one day I won't have to anymore I hope to be the best version of myself one day. I hope one day to find my real, true self. There are rare moments when all the pieces fit together. And I feel complete. Oh, what a rare, short-lived relief! Still, I have hope and belief. Love, no matter how toxic it gets, when it's right It can float my soul. It can stretch arms and join hands from pole to pole. Because it's an honour to be broken. Knowing it's a game simply to survive Just to be alive Trying to do a little bit better every day Burying ego and pride
