If you hear



If you hear something shattering
Don't mind that's just my heart
It was already over
Long before the start
When I whispered the truth
I knew that it would end
Such is the way things go
Don't worry, I will mend
If you hear someone crying
Don't heed it, I'll be fine
Broken things do mend
If given proper time
If you see me shaking
Ignore it for a while
I always get better
After every single trial
If you feel some sympathy
Save it for yourself
I'm beyond your empathy
Let me deal with it myself
