If you thought

If you thought

I’d be three simple words away

From self-destruction,

You’d be wrong.

You really think

That I can be shattered

With a simple touch?

That your words

Leave a lasting imprint

On my heart?

Your handprint 

On my soul?

You’d be wrong.

Even the clearest of glasses 

Have other things 

Beyond their

Shards.

Nice try,

I’m not laughing

At that feeble attempt

To drown me

In your own

Self pity.

I dont think you heard me,

But I remember saying

That to claim me

You must

Leave

An imprint,

Which you haven’t.

So please,

I dare you,

Try

To break me.

It won’t be 

As easy 

As you’d think.

I am the drop of glass,

Hit me all you want

And I won’t budge,

But a touch

To a nerve

Could shatter me

To bits.

If you really thought 

I was like 

The most breakable of glass,

You’d be looking 

At the unbreakable painting

I’m hiding 

Behind.
