Glass
–
You treat me like I’m made of glass
Gently wrapping me in kindness
But you don’t have to worry
For I am already broken
And dwelling in darkness
You handle me like I’m made of glass
Surrounding me in softness
Always trying to protect me
But I am already broken
By loss and cruelness
You think that I’m made of glass
Shiny and flawless
But can’t you see?
I’m already broken
Just don’t cut yourself on the pieces…

This is a really sad poem. Sometimes we can be broken, but sometimes we can mend ourselves in the present, to live a fulfilling life once again.
Very true.
We should always try to get a bit better and never give up!

I know you never give up, you are a fighter, a survivor and a thriver.

I like this poem very much!
Thank you so much! 🙂
Lots of Love,

For Patty,
When good spirits sense fragility
They come with love and care
Find in them a pillar of strength
When yours crumbles in despair
To ward off those who would harm you
They’ll be your shelter, be your fort
Thoughts of love surround you
As spirits send their strong support
When darkness folds around you
And you feel no one is there
when the mirror starts to crack
and glass shatters everywhere
It is darkness’ desperation
When it starts to lose control
As the love and strength around you
Turns to light and fills your soul.

Oh! It’s so beautiful Kev! 🙂
Thank you so much my dear friend. Your words sooth my heart and strengthen my spirit!
Lots of Love and Hugz ❤
You’re welcome and that it helped you a little makes me all the more happier. 🙂
So, maybe the person is wrapping you in kindness so as not to get hurt him/herself? Seeing that you’re broken. I know how I am with broken glass, no matter how careful I am, I am going to get cut anyways. Another lovely poem and a beautiful picture to go with it. Keep on blogging in this free world – The False Prophet
Thank you.
Hmm, I didn’t think of it that way. It’s an interesting view on things. Kindness can make things softer for sure.
Lots of Love ❤
Loved reading this. It’s very tragic and deep. You make glass seem strong afraid and vulnerable all at the same time. 🙂
Thank you!
I was aiming for that, so I’m glad that it came across. 🙂
Lots of Love
