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
