I am jagged
I am rough
Like broken glass I shine
But I draw blood all the same
Once I shatter I can never be whole again
And when I shatter,
You will hear the crash for miles.
I am too soft in all the wrong places
And I can\'t keep my mouth shut
I am hungry for love in a way that will never be satisfied
I fill my belly with words and phrases
And they sound like art in my head
But when they spill from my lips
I find myself wishing I didn\'t have a tongue
My brain is a 1,000 piece puzzle and I\'m missing the frame that keeps it all in.
I tumble onto the dirty floor
And it hasn\'t been swept in years
I make homes out of people
And I fill them with my clutter of wishes
Until they get so full
That they tear themselves down
My heart is sweet like the wine I guzzle
To make the voices quiet down
But whenever anyone else takes a sip I am sour and rotten
I mean well with a bad delivery
I am too sensitive to the touch
Human fingers burn me and I melt
Like a snowflake hitting the windshield
But I am frozen all the same
I am jagged
I am rough
The world spins on and cuts me to my roots
Severs the bits of me that are barely hanging on
I promise I don\'t mean any harm
But you should stay away at all costs.
