I am made

i am made
of

cracked
porcelain

haphazardly glued
back together

but i think they did it wrong

if
this

is how i am
supposed
to be, then

why

am i here at all?

my emotions
leak

through the cracks

they make a mess
of everything i brush past

i cannot be too rough
or i will crack again
and

i am
running
out
of
glue
