I am a girl made of glass
and the world 
likes to throw stones

The world is very unkind
so the fragile
must live in constant fear

I know I must change
and become
hardened like the world

Show me color
show me light
something that isn't
black and white

Make my eyes
able to see
a world that isn't 
all extremes 

Give me red
give me blue
show me that shades
are possible too

Do you remember me?
I still remember you
You were my first crush
my one true love
We were married once 
do you remember?
I wore your mom's veil
and we both wore her shoes
I moved far away
do you remember?

I am trapped in a cage
that I built for myself
out of fear
out of failure
out of insecurity
Now I'm pleading for my freedom
Why won't someone let me free?
But I realize that my jailer
is the one and only me

Has anybody seen my brain?
I lost it during math
It was so confused it ran away
leaving havoc in its path

I wonder where it is right now
Its probably having fun
Swimming in some ocean blue
or bathing in the sun

I am a girl 
easily amused
When something
is even remotely funny 
my laugh bubbles up 
coming out in shrill bursts
drowning out all other sound
Heads turn to see 
where the piercing noise
