You are fragile
Shattered pieces of glass
So sharp it cuts on either side
To yourself, and to others who may want to be close
You are scared, terrified to break anymore
Clinging to your biting pieces with everything you’ve got
But what you fail to see is the pieces that make you wonderful
The pieces that make you selfless and brave
That you do everything you can to help the ones you care for
And usually do not comprise yourself in that attempt
You are incredibly brave and resilient
Despite everyone you’ve lost, everything you’ve been through
You have endured past it
Each one of those pieces is an indicator of survival
Each piece can be repaired, glued together with titanium
You are not the waste of effort and space you think that you are
You are not an alien blob waiting for the next person to use them
You are light, a sunflower in full bloom, a human in the difficult world
You deserve the love and care you put out to others
