Shattering

After I shatter,

will I still matter?

Cracks burning around the cold knife,

trying to hold onto my life,

shaking with each breath I take,

feeling myself slowly break,

not yet showing on the skin,

though the pain's growing within.

Glass rolls down my cheek as I cry,

desperately not wanting to die,

losing each and every shard,

till there's nothing to discard.
