Glass
Shattered glass, broken promises
The shards are piercing me, cutting me to pieces
Gilded it may appear to others
But Those smashed bits are
Numbing all my senses
Ghosts of the past haunts me
Running me down, taunting me
Every splinter is a memory
You only see the woman
I want you to see
My Fragility, my vulnerability that's only for me
Trusting someone with my heart is not my forte
I've been dragged to hell and back
It left me bludgeoned and broken
If you catch sight and get to
know the real me
I'm too frightened to see
What will you make of me
Will your eyes show disdain
And peg me for a fool
Or will you come closer and see my value
Don't you see I am petrified
Knowing that you've come closer
Than anyone who has ever tried
Are you here to break me again
And laugh at my weakness
Or are you here to help me and be a witness
Are you here to put back every part
Piece by piece, bit by bit
To make whole my broken heart
Are you here to just feed your ego and say you're the hero
Or will you stay even if I tell you to go
Will you embrace me, accept me
Even if I am damaged
Or will you also leave me
Abandoned and mangled
I am my own hero don't you know
But I also need someone who won't let me go
Someone who won't reject the dark side of me
Someone who will be jubilant to see my light and let me be free
In my fragile state
I just want someone who will share the weight
I need and want someone to love me truly
Someone who will stay.
— Started this work on September 19, 2020 around 7pm. I was able to finish it September 20, 2020 12:30am. I fell asleep after. Upon waking up, I read it again. Re-edited it multiple times and added some more paragraphs.
It took awhile because at first, I didn't know where to take the next paragraphs. Finally, after writing it on and off last night and today, I've finished it. It's not much but, I hope you give it a go.
This was inspired by an unfinished beautiful painting of a brilliant artist—at least in my book she's an awesome artist and person 😎. But seriously, she's really a great artist and she's very creative and very smart. She's also someone I love and I care for deeply.

AlteleThese are my poems. Some are new but most of it I've written a few years back. Some pages will be filled with my random thoughts, musings and ramblings. Thanks for giving this oddly written words a go.
