New day, fresh start,
make waves, take heart,
find self, live well,
meet other, new hell
self description, new emotion
heart chaos, filled commotion
head tattered, thoughts skewered,
expression stilted, absent steward
other confuse, filled scorn
safe places, shattered shorn
bastion broken, soul flayed
never again, never played
broken, beaten, battered soul
blackness, endless, deepest hole
