Glass bodies

For those who feel all alone, remember there are other like you.

Glass bodies

Being a glass body is a difficult thing,

All those around, looking right through you,

Your presence ignored, feelings pushed aside,

opaque, lack luster, inadequate.

Not good enough for their attention, 

Silently sitting, afraid to push back, 

Alone and afraid, not seeing the others like you.

All around, Left to dwell in an eternal limbo.

We seek attention from another, 

A person of love, of hate, of admiration,

All alone we sit waiting for our turn,

Time slips by, Time cracks us all, 

Leaves us to dwell in pieces. 

The final crack becomes a break and we all come down.

ah, now THIS is the kind of material I like to see on this website; emotional, well written AND creative at the same time! You took something relatable and added your own unique and talented twist to it. Being a glass body, like you have said here, is not a good thing, not only because we feel we are alone, but because we can't seem to see anything to prove that we aren't. The thing is though, nobody is ever alone, there's always somebody out there. Excellent performance, Fallen Hero! Keep that creative energy flowing!

And by the way, just know that you are not alone, and you never will be. There are many, many people in your life that care about you, and will stand by your side until the end. Take care :)
