Pillar of Glass
I am a pillar of glass
I was shattered by stones as green as grass
I cannot move nor stand nor rise
I can only look through darkness with seeing eyes
I wish to be willful and strong
I wish to be rebuilt but it’s all wrong
Piece by piece I am remade
Only to be something that’ll fade
I am weak and may fall again
A simple breath will cause my end
But I ignore it and take another piece
Another step to my release
Day by day and night by night
I try and try with all my might
In hopes of meeting the glory before
But know that I will never, not anymore
Through black cloth and lily frill
I have learned that life is more than will
It is joy and bliss but hard times come
I may be shattered but I can be made one
Day by day and step by step
I will be made no matter how many tears are wept
The sun may shine in rays of gold
But I must choose to see them unfold
I am not blind nor am I weak
I am strong with words so meek
I am no longer a pillar of glass
Something to be seen but never asked
I am made by me
And being made still-
