Shattered

So many people try to hide themselves from the world,

They are ashamed and put on a mask.

When they meet me though the mask falls to pieces

And they are left exposed and naked.

At first they pretend that they are not naked.

They try to hide their blush and put their mask together.

Every time our eyes meet though the mask falls apart again.

Overtime they can no longer keep the pieces together

And a rage stirs inside them.

That is when they send me away.

All of the good times,

The ones where they didn't need the mask are gone

My world shatters and I find myself alone again.

Then I find another

and their mask falls away.

This one doesn't try to fix it though,

Instead he allows himself to be exposed

And begs to be fixed.

I tell him what I see

But this makes him angry

So I let him be.

Then he begs to be fixed again

Again my suggestions are rejected.

Overtime the constant rejection forms cracks in my world

Until one day it shatters,

I leave,

And I begin my search again.

For years this tormenting life continues.

Every life I encounter either hides themselves

Or they ask for help but do not want them.

Then one day my world shatters and there is no saving it.

I hide myself away from people,

For fear of breaking their masks.

Then he finds me.

Alone,

In the dark,

And afraid to speak to anyone.

Like the others his mask quickly falls away.

Then he smiles and hands the pieces to me.

He doesn't care about his nakedness.

He scoops me up

And the tears of a thousand shattered worlds stream from my face.

He dose not send me away

And he does not reject me.

Overtime my world grows back again

And the glass gets thicker and stronger.

Masks may still fall at the sight of me

But my world will never shatter again.
