Cracks

All of us are cracked
From the mistreatment and the troubles
We are all made of glass
We're tossed around carelessly, we've all felt unlovable

The popular girl everyone loves and looks up to
Her face is perfect, but no one knows there's more to look at
Because hidden up her sleeve, is her heart, scars, and bruises
No one knows that her skin is full of cracks

The nerd, the smart kid, the one every one cheats off of
He hides away all alone, in a corner doing his math
They call him a freak, but all he wants is someone to love
And every day, only he knows, his heart earns another crack

She did everything right, she has friends and she's smart
She puts on a show, with her smile and her mask
Everyone sees her smile, no one sees she's falling apart
No one looks behind the curtain, to see that her body is covered in cracks

All the girls love him, the boys wish they were him
He plays sports, his body is fit, but there is something he can't have
No one knows he's failing, every class excepting gym
He doesn't want the life he has, he is full of cracks

All of us are cracked
From the suffering, and the pain
We are all made of glass
We can only hope from all of it, there is something to gain
