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.

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.

Kev.

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.

  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. 🙂
