As Fragile As Glass

As Fragile As Glass

A 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.
