Delicate glass,
The cracks are taped,
One harsh word,
Is all it takes.

With this damaged soul,
The tape won't hold.
I have to regain control,
To fit the mold.

I add more tape,
As more pieces fall.
Some are lost,
But I can't save them all.

There's no pretty face,
Just tape and scars.
I cover them up,
They're hidden so far.

I can't hide from the truth.
My mirror's cracked.
She sees the gaps,
And all that she lacks.

She'll never be whole,
She can't get it back.
And every day,
There's another crack.

Once again, amzing job Jennifer. This poem seemed to have a captivating rhythm to it.
My fav verse was:

"With this damaged soul,
The tape won't hold.
I have to regain control,
To fit the mold"

Sounds like you were really hurt by someone recently... More hurt than is fair. If you need to talk, drop me a mail. I'll listen. Awesome poem

This is the second poem by someone else I've read here and all I can say is "wow."  There is an incredible amount of feeling here.  Quite a bit of emotion fit into so little words.  Beautiful in its symbolic simplicity.

As this is on a teen board, I have to assume that you're a teen (like myself).  It's always said when someone is hurt so young.  I'll pray that you're able to rebuild your life.  Perhaps not with something so flimsy as tape, but maybe you'll be able to actually blow the glass of the cup into a brand new, whole cup.  The scars will never disappear, I'm afraid, but what will remain will be even more beautiful than before as it takes strength to do that sort of rebuilding.

As I offer to everyone, you are welcome to contact me through E-Mail or ICQ.

I can tell that you have a tender heart, please don't let it go to waste.  Use your incredible talent for poetry to release those emotions trapped within your heart.  They'll help you on the inside as you let those feelings outside.
