I’ve come apart.
Piece by piece,
I’ve toppled down.
Catching the light
You can see me shine.
I shine as I fall.
I do this so well.
And trapped in light
I’m at my best.
Too strong to be weak
I climb back up.
You all smile at me
because you don’t know
what to say.
And these shiny pieces of
me just blink in the light
and you all are ok
because if I shine,
then I must be alright.

this does more than shine, it *sparkles*....
but we will still be there with open hands to catch you when you fall, and to build back all those gorgeous glimmering pieces...

i really really like this poem!

Someday I'll fly, Someday I'll soar,
Someday I'll be So damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for.

Shards of glass blow out into the silver air...
You do sparkle...for whatever has broken free and floats, will gather again to make a new whole.
