Cracks in the lines
Thin as winter pines
Fragile like air
Too tiny to fit the chair
Swears by the lair
Golden as her hair
Scarred by the past
Mangled; never meant to least
Wave bye
You're unsatisfied
They lied

Low self esteem is an ever growing problem and the lower society stoops, the harder people break.
