Skin Like Stained Glass -An Incorrect Sonnet-
My life is shattered pieces of stained glass,
a thousand puzzle pieces on the ground,
under a skeleton of amder brass,
red, blue, green, yellow, breaks without a sound.
I pick up pieces, trying to see me,
but I just cut my fingers on the side.
Now just an obscure view is all I see,
and it makes me wonder how much I hide.
But its those moments when the rain falls down,
and the rust washes right off my skin.
When I catch a speak at my glowing crown,
and the clear glass lets me see within.
So I put together my stained mirror,
and swore that I wouldn't break, or disappear.
