my life

a ruse 

of neverending hurdles 

ones which i'd never deserved

of endless tears

with more lurking just around the corner

my soul

a glass figurine waiting to be shattered

waiting to cut someone 

for the pain i've endured

for the sacrifices i've made

for the shackles that bind me

for the answers i search for


my heart twisted and turned

so much that it stopped 

beating 


instead  of turning into an ice cold lake

it turned into a snowflake

so pretty

but 

so weak

susceptible and fragile.


these silent tears 

of pain

which some never realise that they are the cause of 

haunt me

force me to put on my mask

make sure that it never comes off


so that 

the broken sad little girl 

never breaks free 

from her past shadows


i'm tired 

so tired

it hurts to breathe 

it hurts to smile

it hurts to stay awake.

it hurts to cry

it hurts to live 

within a thorny cage.
