I did everything
I did everything I was supposed to do I led an unlikely band into a battle designed for loss We battled beyond the strength we knew we had And we won Yet my victory was hollow And feels like loss instead, I stand empty and broken Unsure of myself. Was any of it worth it? Am I who I thought I was Can I put my pieces back together again? The world didn't stand and applaud, The accolade did not come I wasn't the giant I expected to be among men Instead I was broken A shadow of my former self. Don't give me hope The pieces may never mend Don't promise me joy Because when you are broken in as many ways as I have I may never come back again This is what it is I am broken A shadow of my former self
