Glass Girl
Glass girl, glass girl is it really you?
She who cries finally debuts
Emerging from deep down inside
The part we thought had long ago died
Heavy tears fell from her eyes
Each droplet filled to the brim with lies
Shrapnel firing from a gun
Shattering in more ways than one
Glass girl, glass girl is it really you?
She who cries finally debuts
Emerging from deep down inside
The part we thought had long ago died
Our mirror hanging on the wall
Do you break from feelings or from fall?
A slight of hand and all is gone
No longer will each day form a new dawn
Glass girl, glass girl is it really you?
She who cries finally debuts
Emerging from deep down inside
The part we thought had long ago died
Once she’s broken, it’s truly over
No wishing on a shooting star, a four leaf clover
She is gone beyond repair
Because we treated her like she wasn’t there
Glass girl, glass girl is it really you?
She who cries finally debuts
Emerging from deep down inside
The part we thought had long ago died
Sadness needs to stay at bay
It’s not her fault she was made this way
She gives us what we crave to feel
Because grief is better than feelings that aren’t real

We all have our inner sadness inside, and of course, we like to shut it down. This is because the world today teaches us that we should push down our feelings. This poem demonstrates the true effects of this.
