I Am

I am an angel that wasn’t treated great I am the creation that no one appreciates I am weakness for when there are tears I consist of traumas that everyone fears I’m the freezing wind in a winter night That causes the worst of all frostbites The stone that turned into a rigid rock I am the proof that there is bad luck My heart is broken glass surrounded by walls Ready to go insane whenever it falls But I hide my true feelings from the entire world Not letting them know that I’m a lonely girl My insecurities destroy me My sensitivities weaken me So I put myself in a giant shell That’s starting to feel like a prison cell That I built so well so there’s no escape And it’s like my mouth is just covered by tape Silence is the loudest thing in my life But people hear me whenever I grab a knife My skin speaks words that I have never said Isn’t it a miracle that I’m still not dead? I am the one who will never be free I am what the world made me
