Brick Wall

I'm shattered on the inside
Pulled together on the out
So scared I can't shout
So brave it's reckless
The cracks leave me breathless
I am a sheet of glass
Painted to look like a brick wall
So fragile
Oh you thought I was strong
If only you weren't wrong
I'm so broken
It's a wonder I still work
I'm a brick wall disguise
Isn't it such a surprise
Brick wall
Don't worry I too thought I stood tall
Sheet of glass
Can you see the cracks?
No because you only see the ruse
I could give you any excuse
Crumbling bricks
There is no fix
Smooth glass
If I could only have held fast
I am no longer painted
Just shattered shards
It just wasn't in the cards
No not at all
If only
If only
I were a strong
Standing tall
Brick wall.
