Please be gentle, because I am frail If you're going to break me, I want it to count I want to be a million pieces of shattered glass blowing in the wind Spreading like the weeds you pluck from your garden every day So when you're walking barefoot through the green grass You may stub your toe and remember that I used to be more than just a thorn in your foot I used to be the mirror you looked into every morning, laughing because there's no one you would rather see across from yourself I was once a seed you planted in your mind You will let me grow with beauty and might And you will **** me out when I occupy too much of your space Like a **** in your garden, Please be brutal, so I can no longer be frail.
