Poetry: Soul of Glass
by Vanessa Gertz
Leaves turn over the slumber of my
days as I wait.
A girl made of glass doesn't melt
under the heat.
Thoughts carry promise, promise
brings warmth,
Here I am left un-shattered.
Wish upon a star,
Reflect upon a day,
Wish your day's present not gone,
FEEL.
Feel at all cost.
Pain brings reminders of the fragil-
ity of my soul,
Of my soul made out of glass.
Bulletproof, weapon-proof, weather
welcoming soul made of glass,
Reflects upon an image cast by the water.
Earth is to earth as water is to ice,
A girl made of glass finds her place.
A scratch may scratch and your
needle may crack,
My soul made out of ice.
But live on I must,
Always I must,
Fight on... for this girl shan't be
made glass.
