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.
