Glass

I was born with a glass heart Completely see through And Well understood Very fragile And taken very wrong. Quite poor, it also happened to be shaped like a ball. It got tossed around. Hitting the ground. Trying to be ok. Trying to stay safe. One toss it hit too hard. Too outta reach to check. hitting the ground too hard… It was all fine I thought. Cracked. One line that crossed that heart To utterly.. Spiderwebbed A whisper makes it crumble …shattered. Built a house around that shattered heart Well… what was left of it. Just to protect that newborn's heart. Just that little house. That house to fix that broken heart. That was shattered to a million parts. A part of pain Of memories being tossed around. That little house protecting that almost healed heart. Broken Then aging it started over Toss Toss Drop Drop Toss Drop Shattered. Then that glued together heart was shattered again. I thought I should build a castle around that shattered heart.
