Like Glass

Break me, shatter me to pieces

Tear apart that which makes me whole

I am shattered across the yard

The pieces lay where they fall

The edges are sharper than glass

So I don’t try to pick myself up

Jagged and raw each piece

Severed by lies and lost hopes

Darkness overshadows the future

Creeps about as hope in disguise

Bending me till I break without end

Broken forever into oblivion
