![]() As Fragile As GlassA Poem by sweetspicedgherkins![]() The circle of life![]() With her heart in shatters and her silent scream Her broken promises, and her fallen dream The darkness has come to take her away The sadness inside her, once brighter than day And her tears now fall, a constant stream She's fighting a battle, no one can see Thinking to herself what the f**k is wrong with me? She's a burning fire, and a drowning flood Slitting her arm, she's now pouring blood There's nothing she wants except to be free She can't let go, she's trapped in her mind All around her the people seem blind She's slipped and fallen through all of the cracks Wishing to fix every skill she lacks Only then will she, to herself be kind Her nights endless, and days long Everything she does is always wrong She's meant to be from a sophisticated class But here she is, as fragile as glass Her soul is singing the saddest song Unwanted, lost and all alone With not even a single friend to phone She's angry and confused, by all this hurt She wishes to be buried, under 6 feet of dirt She's sick of this world she has created, all on her own She has a grand plan, she puts into motion She's popping pills, she's swallowed a potion With her hand on her heart, she feels how it's slowing Its hard to believe that she was once glowing And now she lies still, dreaming she's floating across the ocean As they gather round, her wish was granted With grief on their faces, her memory tree is planted Her photo sits in a pretty blue frame Her friends all think that they are to blame Their views on life becoming more and more slanted It's cruel you see, this circle of life And sometimes it cuts, like the sharpest knife They understand now, pain can't be lost but only transferred Lessons learnt, she screamed and cried but they never heard Because if they had, then maybe they wouldn't be feeling this internal strife. © 2020 sweetspicedgherkins |
