We are Glass

We are glass

we break if we are not careful

we shatter if we get dropped

we cut when we snap

we hurt when we are broken

We are weak

we crack when we are not cared for well enough

we split when we are forced two ways

we can't be glued back together

we can't seem to stay perfect forever

It's always going to be a never ending cycle

always breaking 

always bending

always crashing

always hurting

always, always, always

and it's never going to change

we will always stay the same

we will stay glass

and we will stay so breakable

so weak

and so afraid of becoming something

we are a disaster

but somtimes

disasters are beautiful

it all just depends on the angle you look at it

if you hold us up to the sun

we will shine

if you hide us away in the dark

we will cover with dust 

and we will grow grey and gross

we are glass

and we are not perfect

but nothing is

so I will force myself to break

and stop being forced

and told that I am glass

because I am not glass

I am strong

I am not breakable

and I am not fragile

I am paper

flimsy but yet sturdy

I can be crossed and crumpled over and over

but I will always seem to be okay

 I am not glass

I will not be subjected to weakness

I am paper.
