Bless The Cracks


let’s raise our glasses
for
rejected love
bad memories
and the failures
from years ago

if not for them
we wouldn’t know

how to fix
the cracks

how to drag
one foot
in front of
the other
while our legs
hurt
like hell

and cherish
everything
that helped us
along
the way

bless
the bad luck
bless
our cracks
cause we learned
how to
walk
