Job Hunting
When I was little, I learned how to ride a bike,
is generally what most people would say or do as a little human being.
No, not me.
No, when I was little I was a glassmaker.
A glassmaker who made gorgeous pieces with great materials
but, I always shattered it.
Confused?
Okay.
By this I mean
I am a hopeless little girl who made amazing friends,
always tried,
and never thought negatively
but,
when I broke the glass,
i moved;
and i shattered everything I had built with my one material,
my glass,
my hope.
I can say that i've still been Glass-Make-Breaking but,
how can I if i dont have the one material the i need,
my glass.
A glassmaker without glass?
Time for a new profession maybe?
What about a constructor?
I can build, well I can build walls.
I can build them so high that no one can get hurt coming near me;
near my broken glass.
Well, maybe not...
I can be a lawyer.
I've become tremendous at arguing with myself ;
however, my heart is still better at arguing with my head than I am.
Jobless works...
No glass,
No building,
No judge,
No Hope.
