Tested and built to last.
Fragile and transparent
I am stained glass. They laughed
When I turned my chin up and spoke
What everyone hoped would remain
Untold, thought none were bold enough
To mention all the lies, mistrust and superstition,
Scared to be under eyes, that heads would turn to listen
How you are all talk no action,
So I said I was done I won’t listen.
You clench your fist and hiss than
Said I was broken.
your sister turned away, stopped caring for you,
your dad did too, and all those friends you care for,
that hole inside your chest that yearns for a kind word,
No one had heard.
he paused for breath before continuing the list,
I observed his eyes turn cold.
I clear my throat I had not broke
I am brave enough to be vulnerable.
Every one here already knew all of that.
they see through me I’m glass.
I just think its silly your all wherein masks.
Well he said I guess we all get what we deserve
And turned away, and that hurt.
Because I saw his pain and knew he
Still didn’t mean a single word.
