Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Her Home of Glass
Her home is made of glass,
Glass bottle that only bubbles,
Bubbles with her emotions, bottled,
Bottled up from fear,
Fear of a release that’ll explode,
Explode in shards of glass,
Glass that’ll embed in skin,
Skin that’s thin, easily penetrated,
Penetrated, fragile, vulnerable,
Vulnerable to injuries physical, emotional,
Emotional that devastate the psyche,
Psyche where trauma resides,
Resides in the our hearts,
Hearts that decay with anger,
Anger that makes us decimated in hunger,
Hunger for peace that’ll turn,
Turn her glass paradigm into solid,
Solid unpenatrable armor,
Armor that protects, unbreakable,
Unbreakable when faced with difficulties,
Difficulties of life that pulverize,
Pulverize the heart and mind,
Mind that needs peace to reside calm.
