glass skin

"im fine" 
"im fine"

but my scars say im not 

pants that cover them

long sleeves to

wishing i could be like you

no scars

no marks

smooth perfect skin

bein able to show your arms

and your legs to

why cant i be like you?

my skin is no longer smooth like yours

your perfect glass skin 

with not a single smudge

making it perfect

not a single flaw

not a single mark

not a single chip in your glass skin

my glass skin is no longer glass

its chunks of peices on the floor

its shattered

no longer perfect

everyone trying to avoid it

if they look at it

they try to pick it up

trying to put the shards of glass back together

they try and try but cant

the shards are too small

some of them lost

some of them gone

others so small you cant seee them

my skin

is no longer like yours 

nobody can put my skin back together

its shattered

imperfect

it has so much chips and smudges and marks

its just covered in scars
