There was a baby born
In a house of cards,
The house fell down
The day the baby was born.

The baby was made of glass,
The most fragile thing in the world,
That needed to be cradled and loved,
He never got that love.

There once was a see through child,
everyone knew his secrets
before he knew himself,
He could only wish to get those secrets back.

There once was a tempered teenager,
Built to withstand everything threw at him,
Each day he grew weaker,
Until one day he just shattered.

He lay there in a million peices,
Everyone looking over him,
Just like the day he was born,
Faces of
Disgust.
