Standing on a Pieces of glass

I’m standing in
Shattered glass
Pieces of
My heart
All around me
Every move
I make
I feel the pain
Shattered glass
digging in
My skin
It’s crunching
Under my feet
Every step I take
Every breath
Feels like
Shattered glass
Piercing
My lungs
I cry and
Shattered glass
Falls from
My eyes
I am brittle
And sharp
Painful and
Dangerous
Just remnants
Of what
Was once solid
And strong
Now only broken
Jagged pieces
Remain
I am
Shattered glass

This is a powerful poem. It speaks to so many people's lives, although i believe that in the end, unlike 'glass', we can always gather and mend our heart's pieces back!
