Frail

I want to be someone in a world full of nothing
I want to know what it's like to not be expendable...

I ache to be more than something
that can be painted over, covered, and replaced.

It's pushing and I don't know how much longer I can hold steady
with hairline fractures at the base
eventually the weight of the world will unstitch me at the seams.

I am frail
and

breaking now
breaking....

broken.
