A teacher
Standing in front of an absent class
I am a trampoline made of glass
Unborn baby, butterfly stuck in a cocoon
I am the molecules of air in a statue
Shredded paper, loose patches of an unsewn quilt
A blanket of fallen autumn leaves
That's how it feels
To be me
Break me, I'll let you break me
Please just put me back together when you do
I've been picking up the pieces my whole life
Please be my glue
Alien, I am an alien
Beta fish in an aquarium, Ariel
I am like Ariel, I want to walk the earth
Like normal people do
They broke me
They broke me early
They broke me softly, they broke me gently
They cut me with precision, like paid assassins would
They were the bad guys who were supposed to be good
Break me, I'll let you break me, too
Please just put me back together when you do
I've been picking up the pieces my whole life
Please be my glue
Break me, I'll let you break me, too
Please just put me back together when you do
I've been picking up the pieces my whole life
Please be my glue
Break me, I'll let you break me, too
Please just put me back together when you do
I've been picking up the pieces my whole life
Please be my glue
