Hi erilea, Katja here to review your poem. Please feel free to disregard any and all comments or suggestions I make should you find them to be unhelpful. With that being said, Onto the review! 
Overall Interpretation and Opinion
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but your poem seems to be expressing the way that we tend to shield ourselves from the reality that our world is quite corrupt and full of evil... It seems to emphasize the fact that it is unsafe and yet we tend to sort of deflect and pretend that bad things don't happen, even when we have so many people out there who have fell victim to said evils.
Your poem uses "glass houses" which I perceived as a metaphor to a false sense of security we have built around our awareness, to shield ourselves from the reality of our cruel world. Pairing this with the title, I felt a strong comparison between glass houses and false security. It is clear from the last few lines that the narrator does not feel safe, yet convinces themselves that they are "like a superhero" but acknowledging that they do not at all feel "invincible" like one.
we have crafted beautiful walls, gilded doors,
and ceilings that scrape a cerulean sky.
Your use of imagery was astounding, to say the least.
It was both beautifully touching and also disturbing for me, as some of the lines really made me think about the bad things that happen in this world. Your poem is thought-provoking and leaves the reader thinking.
To say the least, I loved it. I may not have perceived it correctly, so if i didn't, my apologies. Regardless, I found it incredibly meaningful and well-written. I was amazed by the maturity in the tone, the meaningful expression and imagery. Very impressive poem!
Suggestions
My only suggestion is on this line:
scrubbing again and again at the brushes of fingertips where they shouldn’t be.
If i understood this part, i feel like it should have been worded "shouldn't have been" rather than "shouldn't be"
Other than that, I have nothing else for you. Well done! I hope to read more of your work soon! You have real talent
Keep writing,
-Katja
