My Glassheart Is a Braveheart

My glassheart is brittle,
It is fragile -when I get emotional
When I am hurt
It breaks so easily and shatters
And when I am holding onto my pride
My glassheart is hard - it will not let anyone in
Even though they all see through it
So they say
It's a cold heart, cold like glass
cold?
well i have worn this heart, bare on my sleeve

This heart has taken huge falls
Been through falls ,winters and storms
that have shattered it to pieces
Cracks on its body
Splinters on the ground
But it gathers up all the pieces
Picks itself up - Mends
Hides the cracks, the heartaches, heartburns and carries on
MY GLASS HEART IS A BRAVE HEART

Hello, Sinenhlanhla,,, Thank you for the comment on my comment. I am looking forward, in hearing from you again. You will enjoy this site, I guaranteed or my fun poetry name isn't PD :) I highly recommend the blog area, there you can read what is hot, and what is going on here at The Poetry Soup. If you like click on some of the side features ((-UNDER- the area where it reads "Member Poets/Poems")) to the left of this comment. -That's my favorite soup section. If you scroll down to where it reads "Contests" you will enjoy the "Contest Winners: Member " feature. Click away, and check out what's cooking. Enjoy reading and following, many of the incoming winners. "I SURE DO." Please feel free to comment and read any of my poems, if you'd like. My poems are not the easiest to understand:) I'm still learning myself. However, I enjoy encouraging others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to help, if not I will recommend someone. Take Care~LINDA~
