15. Un/Break/Able

Fragile
As if a simple touch
Could disintegrate this hollowed
Shell of bravado
Into lackluster dust.

Everything is scary
When impossible becomes reality
Shaking to the core
a  gut-wrenching impervious fear
Into a lifeless mess.

Tears
On the brink of gushing
Ready for the unready
Unable to brace
For the unexpected
Any more.

I question my strength/my bravado
Because a strong woman, a brave woman,
Would never feel this breakable.

Risk averse in life.
Life averse with risk.
So what does that make me
But a scared shell of
Fragile...
