Glass FigureA Poem by AnnieAll my life I've been protected. All my life I've had these glass walls. Treated like a glass statue. Shattered at any time... any place...
Then you came along.
You broke the walls. You set me free. Shattered the glass statue that had once been me.
Marred my innocense, set me free. Destroyed the image that had once defined me.
Broken once but never again... Held my breath counted to ten.
The beating over, the bruises healed. The pain you've caused now officially sealed.
The glass figure broken. The walls collapsed... and all that's left is a few shards of glass. © 2008 Annie |
