Don't Touch Me
Location
I build and maintain this wall, but hide myself behind it's splendor.
A polished marble finish hides the broken skin unmended.
Have my jewels, have my hearts, have my anger.
But don't chop at this wall til I am nothing but hindered.
Your brash and careless hands encompass my
soft flakey skin. You cannot think ahead, nor comprehend
How fragile I am. My bones crunch and I lash out at the thought.
The feedback makes you cringe and my feelings are left to dust.
The I am once again rebuilt with barely any strength
and I build up my walls and beg in a hushed voice,
"Please don't touch me again."
