Description Broken bottles
Old newspapers
Dirty dishes
Uneven hinges
Furious screams
Harsh words
Slamming doors.

Not a day without anger
Not a day without fear
Not a day without sorrow
Not a day without pain
Not a day without tears.

I am broken
My world shattered
My heart trampled
And torn in two.
Don't know which way to go
Which road to take
Who to listen to
What decisions to make.
Confused,
Lost,
Alone.

Everything's changed
No one's the same
Nothing for the better
All for the worse.
Heavy burden on my shoulders
Unshed tears threaten to fall
Anger deep and strong
Pain through-and-through.
Don't know what's right anymore
Don't see the light
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to say.

Which road?
Which destination?
Whose heart?
Whose soul?
Whose voice?
Whose words?

Same words,
Over and over
Never stop
Never leave me alone
Like a broken record.
"Everything will be all right.
No matter what,
Everything will be all right."
Will it?
"Yeah. It has to."

Over and over again
Like a broken record.
"It has to."

Unshed tears threaten to fall.
Beautiful.

I love stanzas one and three. You're good with openings and closings, I've noticed.

The second one is another example of a place you could do some revamping or just cut it out. It wouldn't hurt the context of the poem one bit and it is quite repititive.
