“Shattered”
A poem by Emma Gonzalez

January 13, 2023
Glass is fragile in many ways,
In that respect we’re both the same.
Small pieces chip off over time,
A bit broken but that’s simply life.
High pitched screams can obliterate it,
Scattering its shards across many surfaces.
Her screams may one day break the glass,
And leave its wholeness in the past.
