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.
