Fragile

by Jenni Marie   Apr 17, 2007


There's this girl who I know
Who's been hurt so may times
Feels like her whole world's about to blow
...She is fragile.

People make jokes at her expense
Not caring about the tears in her eyes
Doesn't know if she can keep up this pretense
...She is fragile.

Scars on her arms show everything wrong
Faking her smile day after day
Pretending that really she is strong
...She is fragile.

Inside her lies a shattered heart
Her soul broken and confused
Entire world has been torn apart
...She is fragile.

If you happen to meet this broken girl
Have a kind word of encouragement for her
Don't make her feel even more out of place in the world
...She is already fragile.

**This in no way reflects how I feel, I was given the title by a friend**

    This was heartfelt but well written. so many of us know someone described in this poem but too often we feel we cannot make a difference in that person's life...all it take is a lil generosity from one stranger to another to instill the value caring, hope and happiness.
    wonderful write!
