The two most important days of your life, are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.~ Mark Twain

I’m tired of dancing on broken glass,
Of living in loopholes,
Of reading between the lines,
Of calculating each word.
I’m tired of dancing on broken glass,
Of putting on a show,
Of each step pushing the glass a little deeper,
Of shredding myself for your entertainment.
I’m tired of dancing on broken glass.
