Breakable

She cries.

And for that she considers herself breakable.
She cries and hides.
Crying is not tolerated,
One of the principles she so rightly stick to.
But when it hurts
And when her heart feels like bursting
And there' a lingering pain running up
To the edge of her fingertips,
She cries.
Silently at first.
And, this usually happens,
When crying takes the best of her
And she can no longer take it,
She cries and weeps like there is no tomorrow.
And still, no one hears her.
No one rushes to her side to comfort her
And soothe her pain.
No one holds her hand and
Tells her that everything's going to be alright,
Even if it seems unlikely.
No one is by her side.
She is alone.
Realizing this,
She then looks in the mirror
And resolutely fixes herself up.
Now, she is, yet again,
To the world,


Unbreakable.
