"I was born with glass bones and paper skin"


The way you look through me

It feels like I'm a glass body

Like I'm barely there and transparent

Like I have nothing inside

Just glass.


When you touch me it's by accident

You'll break me eventually, you know it

I'll barely there and unwanted

I'm a trophy girl

Made of glass.


You look into my eyes but my eyes are made of glass

I can't see a thing and you're only seeing your reflection

Glass window to the soul but I'm barely there

My soul's no more than glass.


I wouldn't know how to love as my heart is shards of glass

It's enough to make everyone keep their distance

Spears and splinters

Glass cuts skin and feelings.


I've been carved and molded into something I'm not

On a shelf, unnoticed

Beauty is brilliant

But useless to someone

Made of glass.
