Mine

foldingchairs

I have a broken vase

It sits by itself on a shelf

I like it to collect dust

And open the cracks further

Till I quite literally think it might burst

My parents come and tell me

To make it look more alive

They decorate it with roses

But incompetent as they are

The thorns scratch 

What once was beautiful

Into a mangled chaotic mess

I have a broken vase

It sits by itself on a shelf

I like it to collect dust

Because it is mine.

      Thanks! I honestly just wrote what I thought, I don't even know what you would call it.

      • ShadedSorrow

        I would call it "amazing". (;
