Delicate Glass
Delicate glass
the cracks are taped
one harsh word
is all it takes
Damaged soul
the tape won't hold
regain control
fit the mold
Add more tape
as pieces fall
some are lost
can't save them all
No pretty face
just tape and scars
cover them up
hidden so far
Can't hide from the truth
mirror's cracked
she sees the gaps
all she lacks
She'll never be whole
she can't get it back
and every day
another crack
