humpty's garden

The lies around me are breaking apart,
Wanna reach in and jolt awake my heart
But self punishment and guilt
Are the locks on the cages you built.

You've planted right inside my brain
The very sources of all my pain,
To grow poisoned thorns in my mind,
To sow seeds of fear in thoughts I grind.

My core is lost and wasn't found.
An empty eggshell is pushed around.
One more shove - it's gonna crack
And no one's ever gonna put me back.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
But maybe he jumped and didn't fall.
He renounced an eggy existence
Within a shell keeping life at distance.
