They told her she was broken
so she carefully fused the pieces back together,
but the joints were exposed
and the mask was now weakened .
They loved her for her darkness
then rejected her for the shadows
that threatened to consume her,
abandoning her alone to perpetual dusk.
They built her up with false approval
then tore her down (piece by piece)
diminishing her to fragments
of who she once was.
She opened her heart
and let them into the shadowy cavities
and ashen hollows of her soul
and they mocked her for her sensitivity.
But,
at least,
she tried.
