I'm small, meek, pale and weak by Holly Fries

One Poem Only · Jul 11, 2025 · 1m

I'm small, meek, pale and weak

I’ll break if you’re not cautious.

Watch your chosen words,

I’m tender, I’m innocent as well naive,

I break like glass, I burn, I ash.

I do not wish to hurt, you can

plainly see. I derive on your sensitivity.

Don’t take me the wrong way but,

Only the right, place me easily

upon the mantle, that is your spirit.

Let not your anger stir my passive heart.

I’ll snap, crack, crumble and break

entangled in sorrow for days,

So please be careful,

I’m fragile in many ways.
