We all have scars
We're all broken here
Our hearts are burnt and charred
Torn by ceaseless wind and wear

We are shattered stars
Darkened by the years
Caged within glass jars
And left to drown in despair

The near-rhymes mixed with the full rhymes in ABAB add a biting slant to the poem and make it stick out in your mind. The meaning of the words then jumps at you like a fish grabbing a fly out from under the surface of water.
