Shards of glass
Pierce my skin
Transparent
Like crystal
How poetic
This may seem
Tragic
Like death
But I'm in pain
That is the truth
Ugly
Like sickness
The world shatters
Again and again
Fragile
Like breath
Weeds grow high
Around my bones
Strangling
Like tears
Thorns inject themselves
Into my chest
Stabbing
Like steel
My soft heart
Gives everything
Beating
Like desperation
