The Porcelain Mask Broke-Origanal Poem

There was a girl that lived across from me.

everyone who saw her knew she was scared of nothing and there word could never hurt her.

everyone who knew her knew she had fears.

But only she knew what others words and opinions meant to her.

When people saw her they saw a stone statue immune to words

But when she looked in the mirror she saw a glass doll,

who was sculpted in others images

but with many cracks along her surface,

Too many to count.

But no one ever say as she covered it with a porcine mask,

Crafted with a permanent smile. 

But even the mask began to crack under weight of the world.

She sat in class with her porcelain mask on.

But each cruel word thrown at her put another small crack in the mask.

But no one ever looked close enough to see that her

tears,

her frown,

and her scars 

where peeking through the mask...

One day I looked out my window 

across from me 

only to see the porcelain mask in two laying beside 

the shattered girl.

The girl who lived across from me is no longer there

She now lays amidst the dirt,

But her broken pieces still stuck everywhere.
