Shatter and Walk Away
Shatter, shatter
breaking down
the world falling away
in a spiraling whisk
of trouble
of fear
of sorrowful screams
that haunt the night
shatter,
like the fragile sheet of glass
that so many others hide behind
let it fall around you
in a shower of sparkling shards
raining down and over you
unhurt,
untouched,
unburdened by it's painful sting
the shards of light can't hurt,
because your already gone
walking away,
from the pitiful excuse
that you had once called happiness
and open the door,
to a new life,
a new happiness, a true one,
a new faith,
a new hope,
a new you
everything is different now,
and suddenly,
the glass is gone,
the shards of light are back,
and you feel yourself smile
and for the first time,
your hopeful,
your happy,
your wiser,
your everything,
you've always wanted to be,
yourself
