Fragile

VERSE1
Putting on the mask is too much to ask
I’ve had it on since the days of being a pawn
For ungrateful swine who do nothing but whine
I give a million percent just to pay my rent
They said I should smile even when I’m on trial
For my social crimes that I commit all the time
Just being myself gets me a ticket to hell
Earth is already like that even when I strike back

CHORUS
You are fragile! Fragile!

Garrison Kelly liked Marie's review of Glass Chains: Warding Gait Book I (The Vast Collective Series): "Wow, this one blew me away. Seeing more of Sagan's POV was refreshing and interesting. And little Pax was so adorable. Silence is a fave character but I adore Matt. Can't wait for the next after that cliffhanger ending. How dare!"
