Girl of glass
Molly Arnold 2000 (New York)
She is like glass in the way she shines, in the way she shatters,
When she's around you don’t see her cracks you don’t see she’s close to breaking,
She smiles and laughs like everythings fine but when she's alone she crys exposing all the cracks she has gained from the words of others,
She may shine but she's cracking,
She may smile but she's breaking,
You can try to fix her, try to put her back together but glass will never unbreak.
