romanticized


the glamour of necessity

isn't it beautiful?

break yourself

create a fracture.

you just want to be accepted,

don't you?

so shatter your soul and

lie in the pile of broken glass

that we've all become.

join us.

find your escape and run;

you don't want them to catch you

until you let yourself fall,

and oh,

how mighty a fall it'll be.

take a snapshot

draft a poem

leave a legacy

because you don't want anyone to forget

the beauty you died for

in order to be

the most beautiful shard of glass

from the world's broken mirror.
