Stronger


Broken pieces shattered on the ground

They continue to tip toe around

Afraid to clean a mess that wasnt theirs 

Scared that I will only break theirs

Taped together many times for moments

Band-aids ripped away showing its components 

Bruises causing trust issues

Piles of used tissues 

I refuse to cry anymore

No more tip toeing aroung 

No more pieces on the ground 

I am stronger
