shatter me

everyone is shattering around me

and i can't help them

SMASH SMASH SMASH

like porcelain against a baseball bat

they're fall apart

breaking into pieces

and i just

don't know

what to

do

because maybe 

i'm shattering too


but please

do me a favor

shatter me

over

and over

and over

and over

and over

and over

and over

i want to shatter

for you

and for you

and you

and you

and you

and you

and you


i've been hastily glued together

or maybe they used tape

whatever it is

it's not working

and my pieces are starting to separate

but i'll stay together

for you

and you

and you

and you

and you

and you

and you

i have to stay together

i have to be one piece

i have to hold the glue bottle

and help the rest of you

i have to

i want to

i need to

don't let go

please don't leave me

please don't go

please hold on

i can't

i just can't

i can't hold on if you all let go

because while i'm holding you together

i'm holding myself together too

This isn't that good of a poem. But whatever. It means a lot to me.
