Juxtaposition

I am unbreakable, Strong like steel, No, diamond. You can hurt me. That’s fine. I’ll bounce Right Back. I am frail, Flimsy like playing cards, Barely here, Barely hanging on. You can push me. That’s fine. I’ll fall Down Slowly. I am broken, Shattered like mirrors, Splintered on the floor. You can break me. That’s fine. It’s just Another Crack. I am intact, Held together like patchwork, Carefully fixed. You can tear me. That’s fine. I was made Like That. I am loud, Crashing like the waves, Pounding to the shore. You can hush me. That’s fine. I won’t Stay Quiet. I am undefined, Unknown like fire, A mystery even science can’t classify. You can label me. That’s fine. I’ll tear It Off. I am invisible, Hidden like gravity, Still very much here. You can see me. That’s fine. Blink and I Disappear.
