I'm From a House of Glass

I’m from a house of glass that tumbled to the ground.

From cracks and breaks all around, from corded tension,

And unclear roads.

To jumbled feelings and stepping stones.

 

I’m from a broken house.

But though it’s broken,

And cracks still show…

We glued our house together:

A new family with new walls

 

I’m from a stronger house.

One that doesn’t break or bend.

We built it out of

Rocks and bricks, a glue that doesn’t end.

 

I’m from a home that shelters and protects.

I have a family that builds me up, no matter where I end.

And though we had a broken house,

We learned from all the fractures…

Now we know when to bend and how to mend what is broken.
