Glass is my enemy

one mistake and it breaks

shattering into a million pieces

you try to pick it up but you had really no idea where it all landed

one mistake and it cuts you

you are cut on the bottom of your foot

blood is everywhere

but yet you still feel the need to clean up all the shattered pieces

you pick up the big pieces of glass

you slice your finger open

now your cut and and bleeding from two places

what does it take to stop just one mistake from happening

Thanks so much! When I wrote this poem, I loved how it ended up. I wrote it just by what came to my head, I didnt have to think about it because the verses were lining up as I was writing the poem. I am happy you love the poem, Ill msake more like it.

I love this. There is something about the way you wrote it, I just couldn't stop reading it until I was done. Then, when it was over I wished it wasn't. Amazing, keep it up!
