Glass
I was once a rock
I did not know much about things
so it didn’t hurt me
I was strong, brave, and courageous
because I wasn’t afraid of the world
but now I am
All the hurtful words,
physical abuse,
and broken image
has made me who I am today,
glass
I am fragile because once you let me go
I will break
Once you hurt me
I will shatter and
I can never be the person who I once was
before
As you try to repair me,
fixing me up,
all you can see is the cracks
that can never be fixed up again
