Pen & Paper Hour presents "Shattered Glass": a poem by Brittany Dobbs




I know that in my heart i cant control them 

im trying so hard just to ignore them

my emotions just wont stay captured and locked in

now i do nothing but give the same excuses over and over again



yes i am human just like you are

yes i have ears, eyes, a nose and maybe a few scares

left out, scared, ignored and mistreated

played as the victim, scorn, and defeated



my shattered dreams my shattered thoughts

my hopeless nights, nightmares that never stop

i dont care for those who think im just crazy

for those who care only seem to amaze me



i must put the pieces back together, hopefully i can

if not then who knows what i will become, who knows how much longer i can stand

cause if you cant help just stay out the way

cause you cant help what goes on as i live from day to day



like broken glass my feeling are sharp, so sharp they can kill

but people dont take me serious, they dont care that im being real

so real there is never fantasy, when those feeling are out they are all so true

cant fix these broken emotions not even with glue



its people like you that step on and break me down even more

excuse me if i ignore you, excuse me if i shut the door

on you and those around that constantly break me down

but you no what ima try my best to leave with a smile, and not one frown.



but its hard for me, it really is hard for me

do you get it? cant you see!

when i try to pick up the pieces all i do is get cut

so it drives me insane, almost nuts



now you know why i am the way i am

why i dont care why i dont give a damn

but at the end ima handle myself with class

because my emotions are nothing but shattered glass
