House of Cards

I look out the window and feel the world all in one yet I feel so lonely in this house of cards that will fall down on me with any wrong step I take. I feel the breath of another and his happiness laying on my shoulders yet it’s too much weight for such a small girl to handle but I keep on going as I know how it feels to be hurt. Like shattered glass piercing through your heart and soul as someone presses them deep inside with each acid word they say. I know what poisonous words feel like and so I refuse to do the same as I know that even though perfection doesn’t exist within my skin, I will not be false. I will not lie, for lying is allowing someone to not be worth the truth. All I know is that this house of cards must have been glued together, for my steps have been anything but correct.
