Broken Nails

These broken nails
Not pretty to look at,
My triumphs, my fails
Mean more than that

Been scratching away
Digging for some end,
By night, by day …
‘Til they begin to bend

Once polished to a shine
… Is perfectly cracked,
With pulled hair of mine
And my nerves wracked

All glitter, all gold …
Neither one can stay,
But, broken nails, I'm told
Says something anyway.
