Fragile
__________________________________
Bones as breakable as glass
A heart fractured by a harsh curse
High spirits never seemed to last
No inch of skin was left unhurt
Black and blue bruises covered the shell
Scars that showcased the fight to be alive
Inside the mind there was a definite hell
Swallowed the well-deserved pride
Walls of steel surrounded the heart
In order to keep unwanted visitors out
Faking a smile was a work of art
Tear ducts suffering a drought
Burns on the wrist cease to disappear
The cigarette that used to be between the teeth
And the cuts from the thrown bottle of beer
The memories of it still lurk underneath
A broken heart leads to a ruptured mind
But nobody can fully protect their feelings
It is essential to remember throughout time
Humans are just fragile beings
