You Break Yourself
June 10, 2019
“Don’t be the reason someone is broken”
I saw
On the wall
In the hall
At school today
But I disagree
The only one
one can break
Is themselves
Others crack you
With small rocks
That leave little marks
But you yourself come in
With a boulder
And proceed to
Watch yourself shatter
You see
Others don’t grow the flowers
That lead to your destruction
They give you the seeds
And ask you to plant them
