Broken Figure


Weak and fragile

Shards of glass from the fights

The ones that caused broken mirrors

Broken mirrors that showed a broken figure

From all those tears weeped

During those nights when pain was unbearable

Not physical but mental…..emotional

Shy

Caused by the picking and teasing

Who cares

Just another person who was hurt

Just another who shed tears

Another who shed blood

Shed from the words that sliced deep

Unlike other you can’t see

Lost all feeling and loving the numbness

When will they see

The smile I hold

Only there to hide the tears I cry
