the girl made of glass
October 23, 2017
i am glass
i am a tall glass of water
and you drink from my lip
until i am empty
and all i am left with
is your spit
i am a display window
a boutique’s facade
the street i’m on is cushioned by rain
so i cannot hear your footsteps approach
you stop and you stare
but i know better than to be flattered
you are only looking at your reflection on my surface
you are window shopping
i shatter
and you sweep the shards of my silica bones
and you melt me down
and i’m new again

This is a poem to all fellow women who have felt that they are not good enough, felt crushed, felt shattered, by another individual. To all women in need of a reminder that they are shatterproof.
