Everyone has a house
made of glass
made of pieces
made up of our past
a disguise for our feelings.
They reflect what we want others to see,
a mirage of who we really want to be.
The edges they glimmer with a now long gone hope.
Don't let anyone see the reflections a joke.
The walls they shudder
with each ragged breath,
threatening to splinter,
threatening to break.
If someone comes and you let them in
they'll shatter your house
and its perfect facade;
and when the time comes
as it usually does
they will leave
and you'll have to start building again.
