You love my green eyes when they sparkle in the sunlight after a beautiful day,
But not when they turn marble and fill with tears when I lose myself yet again,
You love my hair when it is styled as I prepare for the evening ahead,
But not when it is ***** from where I first woke up after another restless night,
You love my hands when they are Intwined in yours and my nails are painted on,
But not when they're covered in my blood from where I wasn't strong,
You love my wrists when they're layered in jewelry,
But not when the scars can be seen,
You love my lips when I taste like cherries and they're pressed against yours,
But not when they are cracked from biting as anxiety kicks in,
You love my body when it's wrapped around yours,
But not when the sunlight shows how many stretch marks have formed,
You love my mind when it's dancing with happy thoughts,
But not as it slowly slips away.

See humans aren't like glass because we can be broken but still have life but at the same time you can be cracked but so hollow,
like your insides are frozen and broken all dried up and gone but no damage has actually been sustained to you, there's no reason that the glass cracked it just did.
That's what everyone thinks
Cause no one can see through the glass and the stuff inside the glass well that's your head and your heart and what hides in the bottom of the never ending bowl is what makes it crack, the depression turns the water black, anxiety makes it cold,
the paranoia makes it swirl into tsunamis and waves the hight of mountains,
the drugs poison the life that lived and that's just the beginning of the trauma, after that you've got the bullying and the anorexia,
then let's not even start on the problems that started the day you were born because who actually cares right now?
everyone only sees the mask I portray but its okay cause nobody can see through the glass mask I hide behind
So I'm okay
