[bodytext] => Your words are destructive They are like a hammer that smashes my porcelain skin No matter how much I like to pretend they don’t hurt they do You use them to break me and unfortunately I let you Each syllable you speak breaks off another piece of me You have left me shattered on the floor I pick up the pieces of myself once again and try and put them back together I may look the same on the outside after but I am weaker You have left me more vulnerable to attack I wait in fear and anticipation For each time I get knocked down I break into smaller pieces I fear the day the pieces become so small they can no longer be put back together The day I’m broken beyond repair. Until then I project a false image of strength to the world I use it as a shield to try and put off this day I hope it will stop people from trying to smash me to pieces It doesn’t. So I wait here and pray, scared of that day, but nothing will stop it from coming.
