i am weak
i am fragile
i am glass
no longer transparent
no longer unmarked
or untouched
i've been dropped
too many times
your words as harmful
as a grain of sand
thrown at a concrete tower
scratch me
tarnish me
invalidate me
i am weak
i am fragile
i am glass
your thoughts
prove inconsistent
as they terrorize me
in passing.
as they swirl in my head
causing the storms
with lightning and thunder
keep your tall unyielding
concrete tower
and you hard
destructive rocks
i am weak
i am fragile
i am glass
i shall remain
as i am
so insecure
my fickle form
my self destroying
unwilling to try
unwilling to die
i shall keep my glass
little shell
and through the scratches
you'll see the truth
i am weak
i am fragile
i am glass.

Author's Note: There is a lack of capitalisation as it reflects an insecure state of mind at the time of writting.
