Poetry was always very important to me.  Poems spoke to my heart when my head wasn’t listening.  I think it is a lovely idea to have a poem in your pocket to share.  Many of my poems that I wrote I don’t share.  They express some of my darkest emotions.

I am like shattered glass

Cutting those who touch me

I have been broken

I am hard and sharp

People can see through me.

They know I can hurt them

I am never confronted

I am always walked around.

This poem was on a poster that I placed over my bed in high school.  I had no memories at that time to tell me why I was like shattered glass.  I just knew that I was described by this poem.
