Super glue

by Holly H Dunne

I am made of frosted glass, no one sees inside
I want to live this life but the glass shattered when I tried
I am glued back together every time I break
But glue needs time to set, time I could not take
So many times I've come undone and lay in bits again
And every time they piece me back I feel a bit more pain
I need some time for the glue to set so I can remain whole
Because if it doesn't I'll break again from things I can't control
I miss my independence and I want to be free
But until the glue has set, I know it cannnot be

Author's Note: its taken me a long time to actaully admit to myself properly that im not the same as my friends and i cant do the same things as them yet. every time i get out of hospital i try to rush back into things before ive recovered and then i end up right back where i started. i wrote this when i was in hospital for the ninth time and i started to see that im going round in citcles and not getting any better.im sick of it.
