Broken

Innocent

Just beginning

Little girl wrapped in the comfort of protection

Not knowing what awaits outside

 

Exploring

Getting to know the world

Making friends

Creating bonds

 

Forever

Solid ties

Best Best Friends

Always together

 

Leaving

Creating a shell

Not prepared

Fear

 

Afraid

New people

New language

Want to fit

 

Again

More unbreakable bonds

Prepared for the inevitable end

But probably not

 

Harder shell

Building up

Insecurities

Covered by sarcasm

 

Found the place

True belonging

Shell deteriorates

News

 

Leaving again

Not believing

"Temporary" depression

Shell becomes armor

 

Making jokes

At my own expense

To cover up

The trepidation

 

Sarcasm

Inevitable

Bellicosity

An iron shield

 

The pain

Of knowing

I can never be

Accepted

 

Because no one

Will ever know me

Even I'm

Not sure who I am

 

But

I do know

That I'm

Broken
