Poems

Shattered

You stab me

I laugh

You laugh

The laughter pierces me more

I smile through the pain

The crack grows bigger

You break me

I laugh some more

I am okay

The crack becomes a deep crevice

The crevice grows

You hit me hard

I shrug it off

It is fine

Just perfectly fine

New cracks make their marks

Barely holding together now

I laugh while I know

I will not be able to laugh any longer

Another crack etches is way through

The final crack

I laugh

Then it shatters into a million pieces
