Broken Glass Poem by amanda awan

shattering, falling, one by one,
shining, gleaming, in the sun,
breaking, shaking, just to cut free.
that's what its like to be me.

the outside world too great to be seen
the challenges in which I struggled in.
exposure to light that haunts.
bad dreams in the night that claws.

too scared to come near, to face the fears,
the fear to be lost, to lose someone dear.
too scared of climbing, better just fall,
no one lies to answer my call.

to shine, to be hated for everyone to see,
to open my eyes after counting to three.
to gleam from inside, to never be close.
to conquer the time that it froze.

I'm breaking, shaking,
just broken glass,
memories haunt me,
there's no one to trust.
