gone

she was gone

high above her reality

happier than she would ever be

she was gone, no worries, no cares,

just happy and free.

society couldn't touch her

that's just the way she was

made of bulletproof glass.

people threw sticks and stones

trying to break her down to her bones

but everything just bounced right off

after all,

that's what bulletproof glass is for, right?

little did they know,

she was cracking

society had put a bullet in her glass,

pounding her over and over with

an assault rifle

until she shattered.

and when she broke

she realized that

glass

isn't so bulletproof

after all

then she realized that

she was never made of glass

because instead of shattering

she bled.

but only for a brief moment.

then the blood stopped

and

she was gone.
