Fragile

Fragile

Fragile

I'm a glass trophy balanced on the top shelf
You see me shine, reaching high, face etched into a smile
I see the fall, unstable, wobble to the edge
And it scares me, because I know I'm fragile

I'm a Jenga tower 20 minutes into the game
Surrounded by Nerf wars unknowingly played
Shots tugging emotions into knots and braids
A tangle that pins me to the mess I've made

Pitiful, weak, I'm unhardened, I know
I should be above it, these thoughts come and go
But to find me a machete it's taking a while
And the vines pull me now, when I'm just too fragile
