The stained glass



Who etched you with a wash of acid
Who scraped you with a screeching metal?
You looked pretty before anyone touched you
You looked plain and you were scar-less you

Did the grass look greener on the other side?
Or did the other windowpanes bother you?
You wanted to be fragile,
Well, you wanted to take a chance.

Now you wish you were clear?
As transparent as ever?
Want to see the rain?
Wishing to look through the lane?
You lost your chance forever.

Can anyone unetch you?
Can anyone unscrape you?
You are a carved windowpane,
An unmodifiable piece of stain!!
