i am often asked
why i don't like
talking to people
about my troubles
about the faults
in my skin and
the cracks in my
heart— my fears
and my phobias
and my crippling
anxieties and all
of the endless
things that tear
up my fragile soul
well— sometimes,
i feel as though
just the sight of all
my broken pieces
can tear others
apart and i fear
that they'll be so
caught up in all
the shards of
glass that they
won't even realise
they're being cut
up themselves
because once, i
too, had mistaken
someone's broken
glass for a lovely
sea of stars
