Frail

Frail
like a grandmother's hand
twisted and withered. 

Frail 
like an empty shell lying on the sand 
an old home, now abandoned. 

Frail 
a broken heart
locked in a cage of rib bones. 

Frail 
a dead leaf in the wind
being blown from one lonely lawn to another. 

Frail
quietly dying inside 
while smiling like nothing could be better.

Frail 
bruised and broken
in a hospital bed.

Frail
shut up 
and pushed down 
by the cruel words you have said.

Frail 
knew born life
innocent and curios 

Frail 
a new start 
for all of us.
