Fragile body afraid to move
Frail chest scared to breathe
Tiny joints timid to bend
For fear of breaking
Burdened soul that flinches at relief
Shattered dreams hiding to stay in pieces
Chapped lips that dare not whisper
For fear of breaking
Eyes too horrified to look
Heart refuses to beat
Skin afraid to feel
For fear of breaking
This pain is too much
Too much to touch
Too much to speak of
For fear of breaking
