A sea of shattered glass
Each piece a part of the intricate puzzle of life
Never quite fitting with each other

Broken
Super Glue and Tape can't fix
Impossibility being the only answer

Piece me back together
And you will be sure to find
A remainder of injustice

© Heather W., No., Brunswick, NJ

I wrote this to express some of my fears, I feel that we are all insecure when we peel off all our layers.
