try.&lt;br /&gt;Hey everyone looking.&lt;br /&gt;You must be blind.&lt;br /&gt;Can u see emptiness &lt;br /&gt;Hypocricy I can’t deny.&lt;br /&gt;Hey looky here,&lt;br /&gt;I am so useless

me.&lt;br /&gt;Hey everyone. &lt;br /&gt;I’m a piece of junk.,&lt;br /&gt;As worthless as a paper bag,&lt;br /&gt;As heavy as infertile mud. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fallen grace&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Young and tender, fresh and raw. &lt;br /&gt;Hurt but plastered, not yet cured. &lt;br /&gt;Doctored, by her two innocent hands. &lt;br /&gt;Moulded by the world's circumstance. &lt;br /&gt;Slashed right across her back, &lt;br /&gt;sews the stiches wirh a string of mesh. &lt;br /&gt;Slashed right across her back, &lt;br /&gt;smiles and smirks to counter that. &lt;br /&gt;Thrown right into the sea, &lt;br /&gt;you'd think she'd drown, &lt;br /&gt;but she'll thrive on corals &lt;br /&gt;and beat the fish, &lt;br /&gt;kill the sharks and make planktons freeze, &lt;br /&gt;win some hearts, made seaweed friends, that stood with her until the end. &lt;br /&gt;The fallen grace had rose to pose, &lt;br /&gt;as ruler over people's nose, &lt;br /&gt;to feel the need of importance, &lt;br /&gt;and not the invisible indifference. &lt;br /&gt;Then sympathy comes over her. &lt;br /&gt;The unfeeling shield she slowly removes. &lt;br /&gt;A hidden meek, a mouse so old. &lt;br /&gt;And then despite her wise and age, &lt;br /&gt;she becomes young and tender again. &lt;br /&gt;Only to be hurt again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
