They all see right through me
Some don’t see me at all
Because I’m not what I could be
but watch how I make the mighty fall

They don’t see my potential
or the road I could take
but seeing is essential
for the right assumption to make

From shards of pain
to something worthy of admiration
and protection from the rain
all based on your connotation

Through me they see
something I’m never given credit for
but the ability to be free
leaves them wanting more

I am highly influential
and I’m easy to break
but breaking me can be highly consequential
revealing your grave mistake

Your touch is likely to leave a stain
no matter the location
and the mark could drive you insane
until the end confrontation

It may seem hard and cold
notice by just an innuendo
but a run in would be bold
as if I were a window

I was told to write from the perspective of a window, being the window, looking through it, anything. I'm not sure what inspired me to go in this direction with this piece.
