Fragile
June 16, 2015
We've all got scars.
You can cover them up,
You can hide them,
but they're still there.
Some run deeper than others.
A girl like me
is supposed to be
a flawless porcelain.
Yet, all I am is cracked and chipped.
How can I be anything but nice
when I have felt the weight of cruelty?
I am but a fragile, crippled toy.
-S.M.F.
