Fragile
Threads of crystal entwined within
Such is the fabric of emotion we spin
Intricately woven and fashioned with care
Delicately laced vulnerable to fear
The patterns and colors of lights trapped inside
Escape through expression with nothing to hide
Such things we call feeling of emotion we bear
The inward reaction to the outward stare
Through love, joy, anger, hate
Each flash with power to kill or create
We build up and tear down not thinking of dues
Words spoken with passion are the tools which we use
Dare I unleash this power on all
By the power of others I will fall
So the fragile essence of that which we are
Is shattered and broken from internal war
Was it of innocence that I react
Or the burden of guilt, a cold hardened fact
